(from bbc article)

1. should we kill healthy people for their organs?

2.  are you the same person who started reading this article?

3. is that really a computer screen in front of you?

4. - - need to read the article from the beginning before asking this one - -

. . . and one of my own ::

good readings : LA Times

Each round of change was painful to those used to the temporary status quo -- but each round of change also gave us a richer, stronger nation.
