Its funny you bring this up.

I just began watching Torchwood, something I never heard about (the second installment of ten is on tonight)

This was a spinnoff from Dr. Who and posits that due to some worldwide virus or plague, people stopped dying.

Even when you decapitate a burnt body, the head looks up at you anyway?

I do not see how they are going to get around total cremation from some fire or how someone survives a building falling upon them in such a manner as to turn you into jello--but...

Unlike Dr. Who, this spinoff appears to be dead serious even though I could not stop laughing.

ER's fill up, morgues cannot figure out what to do all day, Homicide units become assult specialists...

Meanwhile on the war front all fighting ends in Somalia whilst N Korea is ready to go into battle with its newfound super army...

I have been counfounded by the repubs take on universal healthcare (along with certain dem bluedogs) until I figured it out...

I think you recede into a funk of some kind which brings to mind some old cliches...

We are all going to die anyway.

What difference will all this make a century or a millennium from now.

The poor and the sick and the disabled will always be with us.

We cannot be everything to everybody and neither can the government.

Well you get the idea...

In reply to David Brooks' Last Aid

"Do you want to live forever?"

Yes. And in good condition. And this is a very worthy goal. The problem of our health care system is not that goal. The problem is that, at the rate we're going, if we achieve it, only the rich will be able to enjoy the benefits. That's the problem. Mark Zuckerberg living forever but not your neighbor.
