I would never want people to suffer if they didn't have to--I'm not malicious.
So here's the catch 22--this guy is suffering due to the child--he obviously
feels like he's suffering anyway, so he sets out to 'remedy' his suffering...
So should he suffer due to the kid? I don't think his solution was right,
but what I'm reading from you is that all suffering has the potential of
being eliminated to the satisfaction of everyone?
My small take in the matter--one little example--people have a cough.
Rather than living with the cough for a week they go get some antibiotics.
They take said antibiotics, because they want to feel better quicker--no
suffering!! I have read that now there are resistant bateria strains
because of giving drugs to these 'suffering' people.
If it's legit, then I have no problem with the wonders of medicine. If it's
to take away an inconvenience at the expense of what may be the
ramifications in the future, then yes, I say suffer with the sniffle for a week.

Agreed.

| (...) My understanding, though correct me if I'm wrong, is that resistant strains are happening because people stop taking the drug as soon as they start feeling better rather than completing their course of treatment. Chris (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
