Isabella ’s comments from the What if..? What about..? Are they..? Are we..? [Discussions of all Life's Questions] group.

That's true, very true! :)

I personally think that we tend to look out for bad powerful influences instead actually!

Sorry I have been away for a while been super busy with projects, have been unable to get on goodreads. Unfortunately I am going to have to go again but I hopefully will be back tomorrow. My ipad is running out of charge and my charger is gone.

You should put some suggestions in our suggestions thread for new topics, you have great opinions :) and invite some new people :)

Same. I believe that earth was created by aliens

Yes, because we could have neither without the other.

You cannot have the chicken or the egg without one another and both are as important and relative as each other.

That is true there, it would depend largely on that.

But also on who would want to mess with such a uniformed and undefeated country. Do you think he would have created a plan to lead his country after death, find a way to cheat death (I am certain he would have) or would they have just followed on naturally?

Because they both supposedly did the same thing

Or God could be the ancient name for the Big Bang

Could that be a virus in the human brain? That while we are controlled by our genes something in certain people happens that makes them go wrong and commit evils, or, on the flip side, commit good deeds - and evil is our norm!

Or, could all of our differences be a simple invention of our genes to differentiate us.

That is a good idea, yes!

Is it always powerful people, do you think?

It is isn't it.

There could have been no Nazis at all, it could have been the complete other way round.

Just out of interest if the Nazis did win what do you think our world would be like now, and would they still be in power?

Could you elaborate on that a bit more, it sounds really interesting

So that could link with our parallel universes. After death our atoms scatter to be reborn in another universe, interesting theory. Why do you think it?

@Krishna that is a good point, the Big Bang could have actually invented God and he invented us and so on -> !

Sorry I tried to delete my extra comment and deleted yours!!!

Yes there have been many children who have excelled out of terrible circumstances but there are even more children who don't believe they should bother because they know they are greatly looked down upon by society.

So if this idea was implemented can you imagine how those children would feel?

It is not just about whether or not they can bother to do anything it is about how they see themselves and how they believe society sees them!

My agreement here is torn. On one hand I agree with SD that however much the family understands the pain and is going through so much themselves (emotional/psychological) they are not experiencing the absolute agony, let's say, the granny is going through.

On the other hand they can understand it and are going through immense pain themselves. Psychological and emotional, in my opinion, can be the worst pain to experience; which is why people take to physical pain to hide from it. If they did let her die the pain they would ALL have to deal with would be immense. With some people maybe not recovering.

This brings us back to the debate: one sacrifice to save many.

They may not be suffering as she is but they are still suffering, and let's say if it was a mother with a partner and children could you imagine the emotional and psychological toll that would take on her family that she was dead.

And again, maybe it should be to do with whether or not they ever can be cured or if their pain will just continue/increase..?

That is very true, and it is those people who do not understand why those constraints are in place, do not believe they apply to them or through terrible circumstances have to ignore them are the people who mostly break the law. Believing in their own free will and power to do so.

Speaking of power does free will also apply to power?

We may have the freedom to go up to someone and kill them but do we have the power to do so and walk away with our free will still intact?

Which exceptions?

It could be a mental affliction. In the past have there not been mental affliction that were inexplainable until new science was discovered? It could be something we eat or do that makes us like this.

One might say the needless consumption of dead carcasses could be also feeding this mental affliction?

That is quite funny, you can always laugh at them :) I am disappointed now that no one thinks I go to school with either Mary Poppins or by horse drawn carriage :'(

That is really interesting. I do also believe that there is a possibility of there being another version of me. Though I wonder how much of me it would be..100% brain, personality, it all? Or just the general genetic make-up!?

As for other universes there have been several accounts of people stating that there are universes that contain other Earth's, not just a copy of Earth but a parallel version. Meaning there could be a parallel England, though this does not mean it is either identical nor 100% different. It could just be a slightly skewed version. Some people of our past, present and future could be there. At different times so what they would have done may have had different effects.

i.e. Martin Luther King Jr. being alive in the medieval times
Hitler being alive now
Etc

Yes, but as SD said if that person is suffering would the family be happy? If they love them, should they be happy to allow them to suffer if they have a way out which they most desperately want?

I do also agree that money could be portioned off elsewhere. Especially into vaccines and young healthcare, poverty and living standards as well as health education. As it is all these factors which contribute to a less healthy society. However, I heartily disagree that all of it should go to only poverty. There must be still a large portion of that money going towards the patient.

@ Krishna, yes you are both right there, families and governments can pay for the patient. If the family cannot afford it in some countries the government will under their country's health service (National Health Service: NHS, in England). However, in some country's, such as America, only private health care is available. Meaning you must pay or you get no treatment.

That brings me back to my previous point about Euthanasia being abused. If you had to pay to get that treatment that could lead to further gross negligence if someone wished to die and were refused so had to find a way to do it on their own in a possibly more painful manner. Also, could families not slip some money to the hospital to kill off an ill or elderly relative to collect their heritage?
