(for strong stomachs)
Abstract: Since the mark is on the campus, made a barrage of tests, he knows the outcome, but had no pain that the tearing of some patch I think what to do waxing is infinitely worse, one of the advantages of being male ...

Today the architect of the bed next (See above) was released, my third roommate is now Gino, old carpenter, a little 'faded ( "I've got er brain fracico" unfortunately a disease of memory that I have known and which includes that any discussion immediately disappears into thin air). loooong sad. Sorry Mark, but you have to deal with this issue sooner or later when you are in hospital.
For some moral philosopher Gino would be abolished. I explained to my students, two were mad, one is out of the classroom crying. "If this is so, philosophers you can go to hell." That is to explain that speaks to Peter Singer Gino's sake. Derek Parfit says that a man without memory loses its identity as a man. Some of their followers also think its good for : in some quarters, to say the opposite, you lose the chair. A little 'as in the old Soviet Union. Of course, philosophers do not usually speak of these rulings when they are hospitalized (see The power of the mind (Wit) by Mike Nichols, starring Emma Thompson), but it is also true that when I say "without thinking" (sin deadly for an intellectual) to my friends with counter-arguments, "the person, rights, 'I feel myself to utter empty words. In between is only compassion that I would recommend to put in brackets "the reasons why and follow those of the heart." Everyone has the right not to suffer. On this we all agree. Here he goes in life, mine and others.
I say that my life is not at my disposal, some of my colleagues argue the opposite. And it seems that we are not in charge. I want to ask a doctor, a nurse, a sick man, a child who they think. And I wish that we put down our thoughts, those on which we play at the end of life. Sincerely, still trying to understand why we have certain ideas and also how you see things with different eyes. A fellow atheist in a country in northern Europe, refused to teach and Singer risked losing their jobs. I believe it is our right and duty as a people and as thinkers to say what we think. Do not worry no lessons. Just a little story. As my mother tells me every now and then (here is not liable to be summoned), "learn to think with your hands." The hands do not obscure speeches, touch reality, shaping the pain, humbly. I think of my grandmother who passed away just over a month. Her serene, calm us. No fragment of pain that had remained human and Christian useless (and my grandmother also suffered). She is not dead for a sentence inescapable sense of guilt or the pain. " None of us would allow a crumb of pain that was a plus. He was only a temptation, my grandmother, who made me think they just had to interview Jim and Sarah, his nurse. There because I thought my grandmother, thank God, has avoided this temptation, to which was prone to character and be someone who knows how it goes.
transcribe this interview a simple one, and we do not put any notes in the footnote. When Sara came, I thought the sense of it all. In spite of God and the cynicism of the Church that is by his German shepherd. The Church has no compassion. Me and my neighbor. In a game of counterweight to this question follows an immediate response in real life. That I think an honest view of what is beside me.
Gino begins to Roman that can not be more "was better when there was Nero" and why? " "Fifty years because that will cut my head and I at this point I'd be resting for 25 years, without giving any hindrance to anyone!" "But when you were young, your children gave you the hindrances, it is right now if you take them, is like a circle" "Ah, but today's children and grandchildren are waiting for the money and you do not care (note the mark: the children I knew them but I did not look like monsters, but normal people with many things to do and fix) "safe, Gino has also reason to think and act in this so can not be improvised. You have to make many small choices: Gino to help her up, after you have eaten, I have to unplug the headphones from your computer and myself. And frankly I'd rather get me the facts on my own: think of others at the time of the iPod. This is not to throw your iPod, or not to buy the iPhone, which will soon. This is pull the plug when it is important and usually takes a few seconds. The same word gift, we often use our philosophers, it seems disproportionate. "However, says Gino, the money I've already given them to him so I can die without care about me and without that I suffer because I know that they can not bear between the feet of me. The fault, however, is that I have educated my evil. "Notice that Gino never spoke of pain (and it shows that a person is suffering physically and in life has suffered), but wants to die anyway, not to be a burden because he ran out of money with which he can buy the affection and attention. He who has built himself a bed made of real wood on which he slept when he was young. The fact is that we help not suffer. It does not care a damn about the megatecnologico bed, when the thing he remembers with pride the bed is hard wood that he built with his own hands, where it stayed for most of his life, which is somehow a life of wood and probably will be thrown somewhere. Gino suffer but when he dies it will not be essentially pain. And he complains that his family was dissolved on matters of inheritance have been slaughtered for the money, I would have been enough the pipe he was smoking my father. To remember. "Last week, I took my mother and me are taken to Paris. Gift daughter!" Sara says Gino, skeptical that answers "you see that you are made of a paste different! . I do not think a very positive discussion evolved on the gift and the theoretical risk that it becomes an exchange: you get something from it, because you hope to receive it or to keep up with the others. I reasoning seems very human,
ground-ground, hand mixing the earth and blows into his life somehow. This is why Christians have always built hospitals. And cathedrals, where they blend beauty and harmony, fatigue and rest, and what the men in detail that only God can see from above. That have foundations, statues, keystones, arches. Where the poor could also sleep at night, criminals have the right to asylum, the same priests preach and administer the strength and consolation of God's forgiveness and I wrote a friend godless Dutch, but because these things always makes the Church (or who has God in his view)? I believe that if the Church in its integrity puts all the pieces in place. The Church defends life, and then invents the hospitals, the nuns like Mother Teresa, who devoted his life to helping poor and sick, and many doctors and nurses who quietly spend their lives with passion for others. As Federica, which it passes by a caress to Gino. is also true that we human beings, believers or not, one thing we can do each other here on earth: to transform the pain of life, not take away life.
With our hands we can touch the pain, heal it, caress it, transform it, breathes life, as God did with Adam. We can repair our broken pots. A story. This is the life that is important to us, in and out of hospitals. To some called 'image and likeness of God', others sensed as something untouchable, especially when it is fragile. The life that is weak and useless in the rubble of an earthquake, life as a mother protects under the rubble, a nun who gives life to the children of his school, because it stays there until it is certain that the latter is safety. I wonder if all children in that school and the other sisters are rescued, but the building and especially the ancient crucifix have been destroyed, achicciati as the nun. Sometimes we are tempted to fixate on only one aspect, and we lose the overall view of the cathedral, the shape of the vessel in which we put water and a flower. This applies to everyone, believers or not. We do also with the animals and then we are so complicated to deny our families. course, for a Christian, in a matter of life, today is Palm Sunday, the day he waited for fame and money, and a week later ended in an unjust death sentence of a person uncomfortable. As if God had laid down the human hands that care, with three nails, to shoulder pain. This is the help that we humans can give us. And if we think of the Church as a whole, we see that has all the ingredients to strengthen this secular vision of the world. not either-or, but et-et. Thank God It is an architecture that all newly Popes have treated the views of different views, but most have embodied in their lives: the joy of the life of John Paul II, the assassination attempt, his physical and moral suffering, the limits of the end of his last years The Way of the Cross written and traveled to the Coliseum in the rain, but also the human desire for a holy death, and full human dignity. Let me go, the strengths and weaknesses of John Paul II, his last words and the title of his latest book, published posthumously. On this horse, for intellectual honesty, the mark focuses his life. Do not know if his words will remain. As will be tired in a few years and how others will be tired of him. If the others and God help me I should do it. And something that I have and I owe it to them. So I'm saying words that weigh a lot and I'm making a promise. Here is my dignity. Thanks to Sara and Gino.
Good Night and Good Luck
Marco
