Well, I did. A LOT of people have died because of this sick man. He wont be the last one to have this device tried on, give me a break
Good riddance, and I hope its slow and painful, much like the people in the Middle East are suffering that didn't have the luxury of having one of his bombs make a direct hit.
I didn't say he would be the last to have the device tried on him, but if you're aware of how medical trials work (or experimental uses for new devices), you know that someone kicking the bucket during that trial or experimental use means delays. It has to be determined whether or not the new device contributed to the person's death. This is part of the reason it takes so damned long to get drugs approved, in particular for the elderly or already ill; the results have to be sifted over and over again. Most of the people given the new drug or device were probably at death's door, but since if the device is unsafe it will open up the company/hospital to lawsuits, every death must be investigated over and over again to ensure no causation.
Technology, especially that which delays transplantation needs or removes them altogether, is a darned good thing.
I'm sure I'm not going to convince anyone it's worth keeping Cheney around, though, and you'll all keep praying for his demise. This board is becoming a regular Falwell chorus from time to time. "Quick! Someone we don't like is sick! Let's start hoping they kick the bucket! They were a sinner!" I personally don't get it. I'd rather have the technology work... and then he can die whenever it's time for him to die.
