    BK>> You see, in England they can give heroin to patients in extreme   
    BK>> pain. That is a big difference.   
      
    LL> We give morphine to those we deem in need.  And we justify   
    LL> it on the same grounds as do those in England who give   
    LL> heroin to patients.   
      
    Except that Heroin is not legal here, yet, from what I have   
    read, much more effective.   
      
    BK>> Then there's the fear of making terminal patients drug addicts.   
      
    LL> It is not just terminal patients who are drug addicts.   
      
    Yeah, but worrying about making terminal patients into drug   
    addicts is terminal stupidity.   
      
    BK>> The other fear is, the drugs will shorten the patient's life.   
      
    LL> Yeah.  That's like saying pot will stunt your growth.   
    LL> Nobody on painkillers/heroin is going to believe that.   
      
    Any patient dying in agony might consider that a blessing.   
      
    BK>> Chose, 6 weeks of extreme pain, or 4 weeks free from pain. Not hard by my   
    BK>> thinking.   
      
    LL> Hit me, man!  Hit me!  I wanna feel good hoo ha!   
      
    SMACK! Now behave yourself.   
      
    LL> In theory, the same could be done with humans.  Would   
    LL> cloning humans for body parts be ethical?  I doubt it.   
    LL> Which is why we should clone neandertals instead.   
      
    No, repubicans will do just as well.
