'sides. It would be fun to see this thread locked at 666. |

Sponsor | | Morosoph | May 3, 9:47am | | India is an interesting place. It's kind of refreshing to find deviants being worshiped, although the caste system is a major con. By contrast, in the west, we tend to think of the crippled as being godforsaken, and would probably have killed or shunned them not so very long ago. |

Sponsor | | Morosoph | May 3, 5:22pm | Well, that kid with four arms and four legs was operated on wasn't she?
I honestly don't know. |

Sponsor | | Morosoph | May 4, 7:33pm | 168: I meant that I didn't know the answer to IM's question.
In general, I don't know whether they'd operate or not. The kid with four arms and legs gives some hope, but in general? Well, there are religious nutters everywhere. |

| | InadvertentlyMe | May 4, 7:39pm | 169 - And I'm not saying this in a judgmental way... if her life is improved by NOT operating and allowing her to be... sigh... used to generate cash for a poor family (I don't know that they are, but it's possible)... then her life may be improved by not operating.
I just want to know it's done for what I feel to be the right reasons. |
