Medicine affects gap between rich and poor

The artificial prolongation of life, regardless of disability or suffering, contributes to the
growing gap between rich and poor. Stopping the suppression of SARS and influenza would remedy the
problem by bringing more lives to a merciful end

and keeping a greater percentage of their estate in the family.

As I mentioned the last time you wandered through. You first.

No, I think my Dad should go first. He suffers from diabetes, arthritis, depression, high blood
pressure, a botched hernia operation, compulsive overeating, complications of a hip replacement, and
now a fractured, dislocated humerus from inability to walk steadily (with a steady diet of prozac,
lithium, etc), none of which I suffer from.

You, on the other hand, need to go to Pakistan and find Bin Laden. You like the high population, in
its inexorable march toward 9 or 10 billion, which forces us to have a presence in the Middle East
to protect our oil supply, which is what the terrorists are complaining about. So get your ass over
there to the front lines and find Bin Laden or shut up!
