That was an interesting article. Such things are always messy around the margins. I know that a lot of people are not comfortable with the conservative consideration of probabilities in such matters, they want to be absolutely sure that every possible thing has been done, no matter how unlikely success may be. Part of that comes from not having to pay the freight for medical services. Part of that is just grief taking charge at critical moments. Part of that is just plain selfishness, IMO. I cut my friend some slack on her attitude since she is the daughter of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. That may be what's behind her attitude. For others, I'll just say that they're entitled to their opinions and their sentimentality and their grief and their carcasses. I take it you're not an organ donor. <g> Nothing in that article dissuades me. Of course, I'm no longer a prime candidate for spare parts, but they're welcome to any piece of my remains that's of use to someone. I would be pleased to think that I could be of some use to someone after death. They could even take my parts a bit early, if they asked nicely and I saw the value in the action.
