re: #428 Charles

What in the world is wrong with that? Why would you want anyone to be making decisions based on some mystical magical ability to read their “spirit?” What does that even mean? Who can judge whether one person wants to live more than another?

Why is that statement supposed to be so outrageous?

Well after having spent some time in a nursing home watching my mother die of dementia, you can have two 83 year olds both in need of a hip replacement, one who doesn’t know who she is, where she is, and can’t feed herself, and another who is alert able to do do all those things. One gets the hip, the other doesn’t. One size fits all does not work.
