So lets find a paralysed patient with lung cancer and a burning
desire to live. Any quality of life is better than no life, assuming
the patient can voluntarily end it at will. This is a big world with
a lotta people. Motorcycles and drugs have given us a tragically
large supply of healthy young bodies with dead brains, and an
equally large supply of paralysed patients with a good brain
and a failing paralysed body. Why lose all of em? spike
