I was thinking about the Grim Reaper recently. They’re not tied to any particular religion, they just personify death and collect the soul and take them…where? What if they’re like afterlife HR?
“So hey! You’re right on time! Okay, your chart says ‘Hellenic.’ Got your coin for the ferryman? No?! Alright, here’s the deal: sign here, River Styx is down the next hall on the left, but you can’t cross for another hundred years. Hey, I don’t make the rules! What do you think a last will and testament’s for, Felix?!”
“Gina! Almost had you there in ‘93 with that heart attack, eh? Eh? Anyway, Catholic, right? Hang a left, St. Peter’s waiting behind the gates, he’ll give you your assignment.”
“Hey boss, this one didn’t believe in afterlife or having a soul– I’m headed to my next appointment.”
“Sanjay! Nice long life you had there, buddy. So you remember where the Great Revolving Door of Reincarnation is– oh wait! You qualify for nirvana! Look at you!”
“So Sam, you’re…agnostic. Come to my office, we’ll discuss your options.”
I really love this take on the Grim Reaper, actually. It takes everybody into account. Kinda reminds me of the afterlife several mediums have described.
How people are ignoring the planned parenthood thing is beyond me! They’re selling human body parts from aborted babies! How is that in any way right!
Planned Parenthood is donating the tissue to research organizations (after OKing it with their patient.) The $30 to $100 they are asking for from organizations who want the tissue is minimal to cover the cost of handling, storage, and transportation of the specimen.
Fetal tissue can be used to make stem cells. Fetal tissue, in specific, grows really well in laboratories (meaning one specimen can be used to grow more and more over years) and generally doesn’t trigger immune responses in other bodies.
Fetal tissue was used for many of our vaccines today. There’s study in stem cell research to find a cure, or treatment, for diseases like Parkinson’s and diabetes. They are also researching ways stem cells can help conditions/injuries, like when people have crushed spinal columns.
#science is bad fire is scary and thomas edison was a witch
these people have to rely on scare tactics and fearmongering to get their point across because they know if they say stuff like it really is people will realise what theyre saying is bullshit.
OP, someday your kids, or your grandkids, or your great grandkids are going to benefit from all this. maybe none of us will be alive by then, but they will. just think about it
