We all are gonna die from something, right?
I would rather spend our hard earned dollars on taking care of babies than finding cures for the illnesses of old age.
Life has a beginning and an end. The beginning, to my mind, is more important than the end. I can say that, since i am nearer the end than the start of life.
Every baby deserves the very best start, with two parents who love him/her, and who will meet his/her needs as best they can.
At the end of life, we should rejoice. For we have done our duty, and however the end comes, it really doesn't matter that much. It is fair to hope that we do not suffer unbearable pain in our elder years, but we cannot expect endless tax dollars to be spent on the ills of age.
As an elderly one with all the aches and pains, I would rather the research money be spent on helping the babies, and let us older folk just endure, for there is wisdom to be learned from the viccisitudes of ageing.
Too bad so many want to avoid the twilight of life. Too bad so many want to avoid acquiring wisdom, and would rather have a lift and tuck, so they can pretend to be younger and dumber.
