Remember the sci-fi story of _Solyent Green_? Additionally, many (I've no way to find actual
numbers) well-to-do individuals have enjoyed their last days alive while hooked-up to a morphine
drip.

>From _Valley of The Dolls_: "I thought coming was the best feeling in life. But it doesn't compare

goodies.
