Hmmm...If it's successful, good. I can't imagine knowing you're wasting away at age thirty. Desperate measures?

After a 36-hour operation, the patient would lie in coma for about a month while doctors use electrical stimulation in an effort to connect spinal-cord nerves to the new head.
I think I would rather let nature take its course or hasten the inevitable by medical means, just me though.
EDIT: I wonder how his family would feel if the transplant itself was successful and he overcame the coma only to die a little bit later. :/

one of ours gave me this look one time when we told her to go pick up some sandwiches like "Really... four years of marketing school and I still have to go *** pick up sandwiches?"
and I just glared back... yeah...yeah you do...

This one guy, who at the time didn't even work for the company (office heads wifes cousin or something, real d-bag), started telling people that he was too busy to get lunch himself and sent them out to do it for him instead and they would just go get it for him.

Granted it would be a medical/surgical breakthrough, it seems more like "we will because we can". Something...Something...Frankenstein's monster. I can understand why the thirty-year-old would want to offer himself up, but then again, I don't.
I've already decided that I'm going to take my grandfather's route, I may change my tune if it were a matter of age, but just give me painkillers until I pass. No chemo if it's a matter of cancer. We already have wills. I'm going the cremation route.
Sorry if we're dampening the mood, Ni. Not intentional.

Interns are seriously the most diabolically awesome plot ever to get free labor from motivated, recently-trained workers who don't know any better than to just take what you give them.
Muahahaha.
Oh, you're getting "paid" all right. IN EXPERIENCE.
(The experience of fetching me a *** breakfast sandwich and coffee as soon as you finish that spreadsheet...)

It is advice I give to anyone, in school, who will listen to seek out internship possibilities in their field while still in school. Gives you a real leg up. Time and freedom to make good impressions and network as well as get basic experience in the field they want to go in so you have something to put on your resume besides just spent the last four years at some school doing something!

Yeah. Mine was actually paid. I actually sort of frown upon unpaid internships for exactly the reasons I stated; it's a racket to get free work out of young, educated, motivated people. Experience and connections are very worthwhile, but at least give them enough to afford a room in the slums so they don't have to live in their car (if they're lucky enough to have one) down by the river.
Either way, though, it's definitely an advisable course of action.

I'm with you though, Zah. I'm actually not even entirely on board with funerals as a whole, but I'm also not the most emotional person in the world.

Lakshmi.Flavin said: »
It's not always free. Some companies actually pay them pretty well.
This.
What's unfortunate sometimes is having to travel elsewhere for a short-term internship. You think it pays well, then you add in the accommodations for a short period, and you realize it was kind of a wash as far as cash but good for the experience.
Cest la vie!

All the women on my maternal side of the family die in November.

For some people, it's that sense of closure. It helps them deal with that fact that yes, this really happened and I will never see this person again.
I have to admit I'm somewhat one of these people. It doesn't have to be an open casket, but having the urn there with their picture, or something similar, just...I don't know. What Dameshi said, I guess.
I don't like funerals in general for many reasons, most prominently and frequently because there's some *** *** with a white collar spewing false platitudes about how much happier my loved one is now that they're gone and (insert whatever myth they believe about the afterlife).
But a viewing/wake I find appropriate and provides a bit of closure in that it brings people together, lets them discuss their good memories of the person and provide comfort to each other.
Asura.Dameshi said: »

I tend not to be in real life, despite what you may think based on what you see here; and when I do have emotional displays, they tend to be the not good kind.

In a happier note, all (4) of my cousins from my one uncle were born in the first week of April. My uncle was a Navy man for like 20 years.
Do the math...that man celebrates the Fourth of July enthusiastically.

I'm convinced my dad has a costume fetish. I was born a month+ early (5/3) and my half-brother was born 6/1.
I think my dad gets freaky around Halloween.

I was born 2 weeks early, August 11th. I guess there was a lot to be thankful for that Thanksgiving.

I don't remember much from when I was born, you guys have good memories.
