I think I'm defining "soul" differently than one would conventionally define "soul." There was a post when this whole thing was going on that worded it perfectly. I'm going to see if I can find it for you. The poster stated it perfectly. This is a touchy subject, and I don't want to get into a big fight here. This is a subject that has hard feelings on both sides. But I'm glad we're all talking about death. It's something our Society just refused to discuss.

You're right

Although it's true that people had been discussing death for ages....

All of a sudden public discourse about death is a thing to be feared, because it has "Private: family matter only" stamped all over it. Talk about censorship!!

Medical advances have made it necessary to update our discussions, open a few closets labelled "private" which have skeletons in them, ask new questions.

I find it puzzling that one of the biggest "medical advances" seems to be the reclassification of "feeding" as medical care. That seems like a step backwards.

"PC speak" would have new mothers say
It's a thrill to rock and "medical care" my baby as I sing to him.

Well, it's getting near noon. I wonder if I should get my "Grilled McMedication" at McDonald's drive-thru or if I should check to see if there is anything for lunch in my bathroom medicine cabinet.

On second thought, maybe I can borrow one of my mother's bottles of Ensure. It sure is convenient, that I don't have to replace it by going all the way to a pharmacy!! It's available in the Health and beauty aids aisle in my local grocery store. (Didn't Terri used to be given something like Ensure?)

I hate to miss a meal. I imagine I'm just like the folks who starved and dehydrated Terri, in that way.

I meant to reply to this post earlier, but I got caught up in others, so please forgive me.

If you find that description, I would definitely be interested in reading it. Please ping me when you find it, as I have no idea what post you are referring to (maybe it was on a thread I wasn't following).

There is no need to get in a fight. These are, for the most part, opinions we all have, and discussion can be healthy for us.
