Blimey. It's time to face up to the march of science.

She'll have to face the music sooner or later, and let's face it, it's pretty remarkable. On the face of it, though, it sounds a bit creepy.
I imagine she'll have to turn the other cheek.

Face facts. It's self-effacing in the extreme.

Not to stick my nose where it doesn't belong, but...
making jokes about this poor woman is pretty cheeky. She's already taken one on the chin, for crying out loud.
And yes, I'm being facetious.

That is the most callous, unfeeling even scurrilous thread
in months. Or is it weeks?
I like that in a group of psychopaths; it means that some things are getting back to abnormal. Still, I've half a mind to give your names to my quadraplegic friend, Third-base. After the game.

Nothing is sacred.
When my father was minutes away from death, and the family was gathered round, my sister inadvertently caught the bed controls, causing him to lurch in a manner that was most unseemly and intruded quite rudely into the solemn mmood.
Did we laugh?
Damn right we did.
He died ten minutes later.

I've always appreciated the Irish approach
to the death-part of the Mystery - that there is bloody-well a place for mirth (which includes the spirit of the deceased.. who would likely join-in, except for a previous engagement.)

that would be a very hard decision to make
"The transplant would have to come from a beating heart donor. So, say your sister was in intensive care, you would have to agree to allow their face to be removed before the ventilator was switched off.
"And there is the possibility that the donor would then carry on breathing." Darrell Spice, Jr. [link|http://spiceware.org/gallery/ArtisticOverpass|Artistic Overpass]\n[link|http://www.spiceware.org/|SpiceWare] - We don't do Windows, it's too much of a chore
