If, some day in the future, the procedure really could be done on humans, I can envision countless psychological problems for anyone (including their families) surviving such an operation. It is my opinion and belief, eventually, we all reach a point when the only logical course is to "surrender the horn of plenty" and let go of life. If someones' health were so bad where this procedure were the only alternative to sustaining life, I suspect not many people would willingly be a party to it. But, the article is interesting. Quote
