What A Way To Go...
By rickyjames, Section News Posted on Fri Dec 05, 2003 at 09:05:53 AM PST
Before we get where we're going, consider...imaging with flat lenses having negative refraction...Mars Express takes a first snapshot of its target...using membranes to clear the air on a manned Mars mission...measuring the "rythmic pulse" inside the structure of a single cell...predicting human infant miscarriages with ultrasound...monitoring unborn baby hearts with military radar...scanning the brains of babies learning to speak...medical calls for a British legal ban on tobacco smoking...announcing a very special DNA cookbook on how to make a mouse...seems that most of the many of the convictions against Thomas Butler in his plague trial are not from bringing samples into America, but shipping them back to Africa (and OK, under the table payments from pharmaceutical companies, too)...and finally, archeological time capsules of a buried car, er, being buried WITH a car, er, being buried with a 2500 year old Iron Age chariot...hey, there...are...worse...ways...to...go!!! Sheesh!!!!

Be Careful With Those Story Links... (5.00 / 1) (#1)

Remember what happened last time you brought up the subject... the willing victims are definitely out there, and I don't know whether to wish our member luck in his quest, or not. I believe in assisted suicide, but only when medically necessary (as in terminal illness and suffering)...but then again I find it hard to go against an individual's choice in the matter. So if, like The Dish of the Day in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, he earnestly wants it, who is to gainsay him?

It is a sad, disturbing, and wretched testemant to the endless adaptability of man, that eventually every possible bizzare, perverse, and insane act will not only be thought of, but embraced, accepted, and then defended. The fact that Mr.Meiwes has chosen cannabalism is not so disturbing as the fact that he not only found his eventual victem Mr.Brandes, but found a seeming plethora of VOLUNTEERS. Such a thing would be disturbing enough as a last request in a will, but as a chosen end, it was incomprehensible.

Nonetheless... by rickyjames, 12/06/2003 05:15:30 AM PST (5.00 / 1)
