Due to modern medical SCIENCE she was able to get immediate emergency surgery to repair the burst blood vesselsand save her life. After a few months in hospital, she went on to make a full recovery and enjoy her life as though nothing happened. She's still with us today precisely because she wasn't left at the mercy of idiots standing around holding hands, chanting mantras and using intuition to guess what the problem was and how to heal it with mystical burbling bullshit.
Clap, clap Mister know everything.
Unfortunately you fail once again.
I was talking about progress just to remind you while you talk about survival.
But let me explain your problem mate.
You guys go around with the blinkers on your eyes.
In this way you think that there is only one life.
No other option apply so to live (physically speaking) longer equal to progress.
It remind me the hippies in the 70's that instead of getting rid of the old jeans and getting a new pair
they kept on patching them up or those who keep on fixing the old car year after year even when
it look like a piece of museum.
Human being of course can not be compared to objects so it is obvious that something should be
done to help them as much as we can to live longer.
Said this it is important to see the issue without the blinkers on our eyes.
Who said that there is only one life?
Where is the evidence?
Suppose instead that the life continue and it would be so much better to get out the old sick body
and move to a new life with a new body.
This would be progress.
Wouldn't you be happy to get rid of the old car and ride a new car?
Progress is making a step forward.
Where suppose to be this step forward in being stuck in an old sick body for longer?
You should read some NDEs experiences to see how happy are those who left their old body and how sad
are the same people when they are forced to go back in their old body but of course going around with the blinkers on your eyes you can't see the full picture so you are confusing the survival with real progress.
