Re: [BODY-UK] HELP NEEDED

Thank you Deborah and Paul for your kind remarks. However I am merely reporting
what I believe to be correct information gleaned over the last 16 years.
Readers, especially of Internet information where there is much unverified
input, should always be objectively critical. I used to say all Christian
Scientists were against organ donation. Then I heard on TV a follower of
'Christian Scientists I' saying it was OK and he was a potential donor.
Likewise Len's experience regarding a Jehovah's Witness declining a transplant
contrary to their general guidelines. The reason is that we are all individuals
with the 'freedom of choice' to make up our own minds irrespective of various
religious and legal statements.
A more difficult area to be critical is when professionals make statements. The
tendency is to automatically believe what they are saying - not always the case
as with the recent case that organ donors feel pain, which was debunked by peer
group professionals.
Two good Web search engines to try and check information are:
http://www.alltheweb.com and http://www.google.com
They have large databases and are very fast!

Keep up the good work,
John Evans
