Re: a stupid question

[Heather <hk3219@ark.ship.edu>]

Here is what is being left out of the equation- QUALITY OF LIFE. sure,
people are living longer, but think of how many people living longer are
living with physical problems of affluence- obesity, all the horrible
things that come with it, organ disease, cancers,people in their 70's-90's
rotting away in nursing homes. Now, if we were witnessing the majority of
westerners living into their 70's to 90's while very healthy, now
that would be something!
...okay, this isn't dioxin related so probably shouldnt' have responded
to the whole list.
