      That depends on your point of view. My mother caught necrotizing fasciitis after being hospitalized for something else and it killed her, painfully, in a matter of weeks.

      I meant 'great' as in 'big'. Yes, it was a nasty one, as you can attest. I always wondered whether theu could modify its geenes to give it a taste for fat rather than protein. Hey presto, instant slim world!

        Mind you, its good for the GSK stock!

        Just curious, but don't you feel a little bad (perhaps uneasy) profiteering from somebody else's misery? Edited on reflection

        And to confirm your edit, no, I dont since I am not benefiting form pain, but the relief of it. Not that I particularly care anyway, death is part of life, it cant be avoided any more than pain and pleasure. Life has no morality, so why should I? All that constitutes life, for its 'good' and 'bad' (to use a common mis-deffinition), is all just part of the smorgasbord of experience is it not?

          But doesn't his investment help us all since GSK will invest him money amongst other things drug and treatment research?

          That or someone will get paid a nice bonus :) Personally, I never own stocks but I'd look into going long via a call option.

          Why? They are safer than derivatives and do give good returns, particularly over the last half a year.

            No worries man, we are all friends here (mostly anyways). I may have just jumped the gun at the profiteering remark since I have been accused of doing just that by others when I have been open honest about shorting banks etc (when it was still allowed) and the automakers. Please excuse my enthusiasm.

            Dont blame you. I wish to hell I had! Its a game, and we all play it. Us, the system, the corporates, and to pretend there is any morality involved is foolish. They will all fuck each other for the max given the chance. Sorry if I sould cynical but IMO thats the way the world is.
