    The June Full Moon (today the 18th) is known as a Dyad moon – consisting of two parts – this being a time to balance spiritual and physical desires.

    Prince Myshkin addresses General Epanchin in Dostoevsky’s understated masterpiece..THE IDIOT.

    “This is not my own fantastical opinion — many people have thought the same; but I feel it so deeply that I’ll tell you what I think. I believe that to execute a man for murder is to punish him immeasurably more dreadfully than is equivalent to his crime. A murder by sentence is far more dreadful than a murder committed by a criminal. The man who is attacked by robbers at night, in a dark wood, or anywhere, undoubtedly hopes and hopes that he may yet escape until the very moment of his death. There are plenty of instances of a man running away, or imploring for mercy — at all events hoping on in some degree — even after his throat was cut. But in the case of an execution, that last hope — having which it is so immeasurably less dreadful to die, — is taken away from the wretch and CERTAINTY substituted in its place! There is his sentence, and with it that terrible certainty that he cannot possibly escape death — which, I consider, must be the most dreadful anguish in the world. You may place a soldier before a cannon’s mouth in battle, and fire upon him — and he will still hope. But read to that same soldier his death-sentence, and he will either go mad or burst into tears. Who dares to say that any man can suffer this without going mad? No, no! it is an abuse, a shame, it is unnecessary — why should such a thing exist? Doubtless there may be men who have been sentenced, who have suffered this mental anguish for a while and then have been reprieved; perhaps such men may have been able to relate their feelings afterwards. Our Lord Christ spoke of this anguish and dread. No! no! no! No man should be treated so, no man, no man!”

    Bartering body parts for filthy lucre is a reality it’s true, but the legalisation of same, certainly doesn’t win any endorsement from me. for the reasons cited by Prof Chapman, and more.
    Like Kezef, I believe that the emphasis must be placed on donor cards (it’s interesting to note that in countries where paid transplants already take place, the donor rate has seriously dwindled) and perhaps like Poli, I believe that these cards should be used as opt outs rather than opt ins.
    In the event of a transplant (in reality, I’m too f****d to have one) my unease at having a deceased donor’s pancreas inside me, would be preferable to knowing that some poor sod was tottering around without one, in order to pay off his debts.
