Ignorance causing obsession.

[Ian Gardner]

Our obsession, in the western world, with the prolongation of human life can

be likened to manipulating a long train journey, which starts at station A and

ends at station Z, so that the distance between any two stations, say L and M,

is unnaturally prolonged as much as is scientifically possible, even to the extent

where the train is in need of continuous maintenance; our obsession

stemming from ignorance of the fact that segment L to M is not the whole

journey.
