BRAVO

And your point would be? It's been in the news all week for everyone to see and has nothing to do with apnea.

That's why he prefixed it with OT Julie.

Not questioning the OT, but I'm interested in why he posted...

It's great that her wishes were honored, very sad otherwise, and I wondered why Avi chose to post.

I'd like to know how a teenager came up with this idea?? I hope some crazy scientist didn't convince her to do it just to further his career. I also feel extremely sorry for the one parent who was against this procedure and had to go along with the court order, against their own wishes.

Cardsfan, I only feel sorry for the girl who wanted to live and nothing could be done to save her life.

Nope, we were not "all" thinking that.

I question why you felt the need to post what you did? You can 'think' whatever you want, but what was your need to post it? Do you think it helped anyone? You could just as easily gone to a different thread, which is what I did (along with others) when I saw this early today.

What other thread did you go to?

Sometimes I like to poke Lucy and watch her go bananas.
Silly Lucy--cannot identify humor, sarcasm.
It must be painful to live in a world where nothing can ever be funny.
On another note---cryogenics used this way is generally considered a scam.
Pity whoever gets stuck with the bill.

I think Avi already has. There's none still warm in use here.

I read that she was made aware cryogenics was not known to work, but wanted it anyway... at least she got the go.

maybe that 123 is his temperature kelvin...

Avi: ramblings from the freezer.

A post at noon and a post mid afternoon with typical childish insults from palerider. He who has the nerve to complain that other peoples post do not contribute anything.
