Yes, I understand the arguement that.. "hey, did your treatment mean you're going to live forever? No! So you're just staving off the inevitable then?"Originally Posted by Fellbeast
The argument that delaying death isn't avoiding death is a bit of a naff one in that that's the whole point of life (and medicine) surely; you know so that you live as long as you can rather than die. As Yossarian decided in Catch 22: "I'm going to live forever or die in the attempt"..but my point was (perhaps ineptly expressed), that you can't realistically 'hide' from this virus, and that with the NHS focusing so much on saving your 'fire' they're letting lots of other houses burn down! Sorry, terrible mixture of metaphors there - but you get the point - maybe. Anyway, off for a run around Tebay, making the most of the time left to me!!
