Thread Name: Iranian siamese twins
Subject: RE: Iranian siamese twins
How about discussing this issue without resorting to personal insult...What happened to these girls was attrocious in the full gaze of the world media...One day they had life,and one day they didnt..of course being conjoned at the head is just about as awful a fate as anyone could wish for,but as has been stated despite all this they appeared to be intelligient happy individuals who had even graduated in law so life held many opportunities for them...These two girls who had managed to get through 29 years needed false hope to shatter any acceptance of their situation they had achieved like a bullet in the brain..What they were subjected to was even more brutal...

This was not a Christian Barnard pioneering life saving operation..It was a reckless waste of two lives..Many live with debilitating physical deformity(one of the most famous severely disabled being Stephen Hawkins),but given help to see the bigger,brighter picture of what can be achieved in the land of the living,most I can assure you will opt for life....These girls needed someone to remind them of all the good in their lives,not someone to offer an impossible operation..and a promise of meeting Allah in the holy land...

I have never tried to speak for anybody else on this matter ,but myself. I am merely expressing my own opinions so please concentrate on the discussion in hand and desist from turning this into a burn Jim Clark at the stake for simply stating that believe the promise of life over death must surely be one I would opt for...
