Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Aubry, The Buddhists have always cremated their dead. It keeps the diseased or impure bodies from having any impact on the earth. I have not talked to a Lama about it, but I am sure that they would highly approve of medical uses for the body as well. I had always planned on cremation, but I will start thinking of leaving my body to a teaching hospital instead. Thank you for bringing it up.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Can we keep politics out of this group? We will be much happier. We all have strong opinions, I'm sure and they will all be different. I'm sure that mine would upset you very much. I will not push my views on you or the others, though. PLease respect this. Thank you. Rick Siegert > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi TDR, > > > That sounds like a great idea.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Rick, I believe the Usama referred to meant Osama Bin Laden. However, what started out as a little humor could get out of hand, and I agree that policitics, if it got to that, doesn't belong here. I think most of us have sufficient intelligence to make our own decisions without others wanting to debate our considerations. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi TDR, > > > > That sounds like a great idea.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Rick: Just my feeble attempt at a little humour-- Which we all need. But how does Usama (bin Laden) -- I did NOT say Obama -- fit into your scheme of politics? OOPS, sorry, no politics here! Here is a good quote: "Laughter in and of itself cannot cure cancer nor prevent cancer, but laughter as part of the full range of positive emotions including hope, love, faith, strong will to live, determination and purpose, can be a significant and indispensable aspect of the total fight for recovery."
