One in five can expect a 'lonely shameful death' | the Daily Mail

The following two links, 1 from the Bangkok Post and 1 from the Daily Mail (UK) make interesting reading.
I have said for many years that medical advancement should slow down. My views may not be popular with many but i certainly thought very realistic. The first link is to an article about China stopping the trade in human organs, but also how 1.5 million patients a year need a transplant but currently only 10,000 receive one. Imagine the impact if everyone received a transplant, the effect on the population of a country that already limits families to one child each. It's not rocket science...

The next piece from the Daily Mail addresses the effect of longevity on the old in the UK, the sadness of old age and loneliness of death, all brought around by medical advancement. Unfortunately we all have to go sometime so maybe it's time to start doing it with dignity. It takes you through the ages of mankind from when we were at the bottom of the food chain and some how amazingly worked our way to the top, not sure if that was such a good move! Mother nature knows best.

In Africa we happily dish out very expensive medicines to save lives to then let them die of starvation! Should there not be more of a balance.

What a happy tale for Easter. Happy Easter to you all
