Hi Bill,

I presume CS means Christian Scientist. I also had a near mother in law of that persuasion, back when I was in college, so I read up on Mary Baker Eddy's thoughts. Since then I've had a few as patients. They are generally very well educated and pleasant people. Since they don't smoke or drink, they are spared many of the diseases related to those habits and are generally healthy. It is really moving, though, to see some of them (as I have) with a large, ulcerated, smelly breast cancer which has broken through the skin and is obviously causing pain and consternation. These people are able (up to a point) to intellectualize the whole problem. Metaphysics of this type is not comprehensible to me, but that part of me which is libertarian (not all of me) says it's OK, at least for the consenting adults.
