Would-Be Lifesavers Go Down in Crash
There's a sad piece of news in today's New York Times. A plane crash over Lake Michigan killed an entire medical transplant team and two pilots yesterday. The precious organ—a lung—was also lost. Organ transplant is a high risk field of work, because doctors habitually rush from donors to recipients in small planes. You know, trying to save other people's lives. The would-be recipient of the lung had already been anesthetized and opened up, taxing his already seriously ill system.
Worth reading in full.

What boggles my mind is how it is possible for people to still believe in god(s) when this kind of unfair thing happens. All the good die young, what does god have to say about that?
I remember a simular case in the 1980s. Three men got a twenty-something drunk. They video-taped her having sex with them. It was obvious from the tape she was out of her mind drunk, but her active participation made it look like consent. It was a case where she lost all her inhibitions and did not remember a thing the next day. The three men were arrested for rape, but when the DA saw the tape, the charges were dismissed because of her obvious enthusiastic participation. There was simulated sex with a foot tall toy robot.
Sadly, the tape that was supposed to be destroyed was copied and has been used as entertainment at police bachelor parties ever since.
