<OT> Actually I've been gone for several hours and haven't deleted a thing. Have had a glass or two or three of vino while dealing with more pressing things like an eighty two year old mother-in-law in assisted living for Alzheimers. Spent the last three hours dealing with the fact that we lost fifteenK of her money in a couple of mutual funds. So, I've been busy trying to reassure the siblings that things will work out in the end and chatting with "the mother-in-law" just spending some time with her and finding some laughter to share with her in this most dreadful of all situations.

I've always found it to be a quaundary in the medical profession with terminal patients that they seem to prolong a patient's death. I suppose with all of the malpractice suits floating around, if they have to err it's in their best interest to err on the side of life. It's my opinion that people are living much longer than their bodies can be reasonably be expected to support them. Again, when considering the quality of life that those who are living beyond their "normal" life expectancy dictates...what "moral" responsibilty does the physician have to keep the body alive???

Sorry for the digression but that's what I've been dealing with this PM. We can further discuss this on EXHIB if anyone has any input. Thanks. SH
