Q&@
IN
ORDER TO
OVERCOME DEATH ANYMORE!
A couple of geeks in a lab can do it?
If traditionally death wàs the speciality
of priests & theologians, now the engineers are taking over!
We can kill the cancerous cells with chemotherapy or nanorobots.
We can exterminate the germs in the lungs with antibiotics? If the heart
stops pumping, we can reinvigorate it with medicines & electric shocks - and if that
doesn't work, we can implant a new heart! True, at present we don't have solutions to
all technical problems, but this ìs precisely why we invest só mùch tíme & money in researching
cancer, germs, genetics & nanotechnology!! Even ordinary people, who are not engaged in scientific
research, have become used to thinking about death as a technical problem? When a woman goes to
her physician and asks, 'Doctor, what's wrong with me?' The doctor is likely to say, 'Well, you have the
flu,' or 'You have tuberculosis,' or 'You have cancer.' But the doctor will never say 'YOU HAVE DEATH!'
And we are all under the impression that flu, tuberculosis and cancer are technical problems, to which
we might someday find a technical solution!? Even when people die in a hurricane, a car accident or war,
we tend to view it as a technical failure that could and should have been prevented?! Ìf the government only
hàd adopted a better policy; ìf the municipality hàd dòne ìts job properly; and if the military
commander hàd táken a wíser decision, death wóuld háve béén avòided!
Death has become an almost automatic
reason for lawsuits and investigations?
'HOW COULD THEY HAVE DIED?
SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE MUST
HAVE SCREWED
UP!'
