Hi guys- While I am with the people who consider the no longer inhabited body to be "disposable", I can still appreciate that not all think the same. And I'm sure there are many others that would have strong feelings about it even though admitting that such feelings are not rational. As someone said (William James?), "The intellect is a speck on the sea of emotion." Intuition and emotion are after all paths to a different, and often superior, way of apprehending reality (whatever that may be). Body recovery is for the survivors, not the victim, and if it is important to them, then it should be important to all of us as fellow human beings, because of their suffering. Important, but not the sole determining factor. I wonder how much of all this furor has been whipped up for political purposes?
