A British ethicist weighs in. The ethics of climbing Everest.

And how in the world did this become a discussion of Calvinism versus Arminianism (sp?)? And here's some Calvinism that I like.

[David Allen]

Now that's the Calvin I try to follow!

I said I came from a long line of Calvinists, but I didn't mention that I don't agree with them on some things.

I start with Martin Luther, and work my way forward.

Thanks. This description is what has been explixitly absent from the other articles.

"David Sharpe was "effectively dead". Frozen, he could only move his eyes. If this diagnosis is correct, it is extremely unlikely that he would have survived the descent. No amount of help would have saved his life."

This was Inglis' observation. From my experience your out cold unless it's possible to wake you. In this case I think it took the O₂. He seems to have gone up and alone and stayed overnight. that's what put him in this condition.

LOL. "I dunno. That kind of humor is so broad."
