>>That is absurd. And the key word here
is "speculation"
What makes any one idea absurd? If you
look closer at many things that are the norm in American society you will find
the truth a far cry from that! Just because someone has a new idea it's not
absurd, off the wall, or necessarly wrong. Because it threatens something that
has been the norm in our lives for years doesn't mean it's wrong or absurd. We
claim to be the most advanced medically of anyone in the world, I'm beginning to
have real doubts about that.
>If a rider had a horse die, and the
necropsy results were made public, say in EN, would you object to reading those
results and learning from them?
Honestly it depends on *whom* made the
results public. If the rider chose to, I might and might not read them. Of the
people whom chose to have necropsies done on their horses that have spoken up
recently it was all fluke unknown problems, what would I have learned? If they
were made public against the owner's wishes and they were fighting it, I'd be
right there with them. Whether or not animal owners choose to do Necropsies and
have the results made public is a personal decision.
>I have sat in on a dozen or more Human
Autopsies, and I have also donated one of my llamas that died to my Vet that
just hired two Vet graduates from the University in Colorado, Susan
G's Alma Mater... for a necropsy. I was allowed to watch the necropsy as well,
and the information I got from all of them, human or otherwise was
invaluable.
More power to ya... It's a personal
decision.
>To do these things is like research, if we
don't have research, we would still be dying off at age
35.
Do you know what one single medical
breakthrough lengthened the life expectancy? Having doctors wash their hands. I
don't see that modern medicine is all that great...
>The soul has left the body, the body is a
shell, I never can understand why there should be any religious objections, when
religion certainly believes in the soul.
I'm not going to get into a religous
debate here on RC, if you want to you can email me privately.
>Perhaps if you had this information, you
would never be at risk to even think of infringing on your
beliefs.
No, more than likely I'll go back to
showing. I can dress me up, and not have to go through all the crap some of
y'all want to enforce on riders. Make me stay at rides, demand necropsies, next
you'll be trying to mandate that my horse is vaccinated against certain things,
that I've had my physical. No thanks! I came to endurance because it had a no
drug tolerance and outside of that you were free to compete and live your life,
looks like that's swiftly changing.
