Interesting thread. Thanks. I'm reminded of my experiences in Third World countries; particularly as a boy first witnessing the ravages of diseases such as small pox, and polio. The blindness, scars, paralytics dragging themselves through the streets were commonplace. I recall my father's words as he patiently explained how such things came to be, and accordingly developed an early appreciation for the advances in medical science.

I guess that seeing is horrifyingly believing. From where do you hail?
