- People like you frighten and sicken me, Nyikos. You would gladly
- force me to do something against my will until I was nearly "better
- off dead". Think of the lifesaving things YOU could do until you
- were "better off dead". (Donate both kidneys, and live on dialysis
- for as long as you can.) Think of how you would feel if someone
- were to kidnap you and remove your kidneys, all the while claiming
- that this was a good and moral thing to do because you were saving
- a life. I ask you, just consider how your words would feel coming
- from someone else and applying to YOU.

- I think we have a contender for the Kevin Welch 100.00000000% Award.

- You should get out more. It is still not uncommon for women to die
- in childbirth.

- Perhaps because pregnancy would be so _rare_, Nyikos?
