In response to what !KA! said, what they did to him was still wrong. This guy, if all this is true, should be a hero. He should be a legend. He should be placed up top with Einstein, Newton, Edison, and all the other gods of science. The sad fact is, nobody even knows this guy's name. My uncle is a neurologist, and has never heard the man's name. What was done to him was plain wrong.

Another thing is, what !KA! says might have been true. The world might've gotten too overpopulated. But, looking back through history, nature has a way of balancing itself out. People have a way of keeping these problems in check. I have enough faith in humanity to believe that we would've found a way around the problems that would've risen through his technology, because we've almost always found a way to work around it. Who knows, it might've lead to good things. We might have everyday humans living on the moon, and be in the process of teraforming Mars at this moment. I think we would've found a way around it.

To say that people's lives should be taken because of a fear of future over-population is selfish. My mom's had a scare with cancer before, and I personally know what it feels like to be in a situation where you don't know whether or not you're going to see your mother tomorrow. Had my mother died, how would it have been fair to her to not get to live her full life when we had the technology to cure her. How would it have been fair to my father to leave him without a wife, or me and my sister to leave us without a mother when we had the technology to cure the disease. Thank god that my mother didn't die, but there are many mothers, many wives, many loved ones who die every day to cancer, or other deadly diseases. To not cure them when you have the technology to do so is a travesty of anything just in this world. It's paradoxical that these doctors swear to protect lives, and then turn around and their morality is overshadowed by greed. What a bunch of crooks.

From every good thing arise some negative consequences. For instance, today's automobiles are tearing up our ozone layer. You'll hear every hippy bitch about that. It's the truth, but are you willing to give up riding in automobiles altogether? Humans will one day find a solution to that dillema, or perish, but we're not going to deny the people alive today the right to ride in a car. Why then, should we deny sick people the right to live?
