two of the things i have long had stringent thoughts over and i like the way you connect them!

The first... am poor with the genetic fundas and most of it is OHT(over head transmission) ... (lots already has been said) .. i leave the issue for the wise folks out there!

... and how many of you are for legalising Euthanasia?
I do not understand why there is a question about legalising it at all!

Suppose i attempt killing myself at 40... : if i succeed , think people are fools to fight for convicting me for my death!
If i fail..then i bloody suck! If i cannot flag off my own death then i should be punished with few more days of physical life to know how to accomplish finishing that! Know all you can and then go!
(May be this is offtrack the reasonable discussion this post is aimed at but this is how i see it)

Looking at this issue rationally, why is killing a plant / bacteria 'totally fine' with people while killing a 'conscious animal' is not? I think this view point of "must not kill animals but can kill plants" is rational. and the Central Nervous System is the difference here.
Running at the risk of tracking irrelevant directions but I couldnot resist referring this (thoughts are now almost tangent to what i used to believe but some of it still makes sense)

Is it really that you have chosen '40' as the age for yourself to 'buy THE ticket'?

btw, A Guide to Suiciding might be of help. But then, I have a lot of years left to read that up! ;)

Left comments on your Tangents post. :)
