Re: Disturbing news from New Zealand
hi john sabourn #9
good evening, after having those experiences due to your operations i suppose it is reasonable to expect to be unconscious, But i read of one lunatic i think he was american whom operated on himself using a mirror to assist his sight and he surgically removed his wedding tackle and this was done without anaesthetic or drugs of any kind, the whole proceedure was filmed for another lunatic whom had goaded him into doing it,
so there you are another cock and bull story.

No need to go that far Thomas, according to the Dr. if nature takes its course it will also do that automatically. Together with other parts. Being conscious during a major operation for myself I wouldn’t advise . Cheers JS

hi john sabourn #13
good evening, Nature taking its course can often surprise most people, and the things you expect to happen usually do not.

Re: Disturbing news from New Zealand
Hope so Thomas. A play on words Mankind, does not mean the benevolence of Man, to me I would suggest its true meaning is the type of Animal. Man is just another species of the animal world and that is very conspicuous by his actions in today’s warring world. Most of the animal kingdoms put him to shame. Cheers JS
