        Why do we owe these people anything?  How many Canadians are
starving?  How many Sweeds?  How many Englishmen?  How many Americans?
How many Alaskans?  Why should my girlfriend die because a third world
country, overseas, can't manage itself?  How many of hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been spent overseas while in the form of aid
while thousands of Americans have starved here at home?
 
        How many third - world countries' citizens are starving because
of the funds it took to develop the computer that you use to write this
tread?
 
        This type of conversation is pointless.
 
        My point about the transplant was that it was done under our
current education system. In fact, many third world doctors learn from
the same system and take back this knowledge to help patients in this
less fortunate areas of our world.
