So suppose someone is dying, and the only option to save their life would be to transplant their head onto their spouse's body.
This was an episode of Futurama, incidentally. (Fry's head on Amy's body.)

I have no idea, but GONE WITH THE WIND? How many people have actually READ the book, and not just seen the movie.
I read it!
Still appalling, mind.

GF read it after our Atlanta trip. She couldn't believe how racist it was. She kept having me read passages - definitely racist. Ick.

Here in retirementville we hear lots of stories of early sweethearts finding each other again after being widowed. It must be easier to start again with someone you knew than a stranger.
Yes, it was strange to see an old photo of my Dad and have my stepmother say something like "that's your dad and me at so-and-so's wedding 50 years ago," but it was great for them because she already knew so many of the people my dad had begun to reconnect with after my mom's death and his retirement. And she was so wrong for my Dad when he was younger (and she was the polar opposite of my Mom), but was the perfect person for his golden years.

Phew! I was just editing something about Le Petit Prince and am happy to see that Wikipedia jives with what the author was saying.

eggs increase risk of death What about quiche? fritatta? What about baked goods? You can't take my eggs from me! Oh wait, as long as I'm not a middle-aged man I'm OK, right?

They don't say what the people who ate all those eggs died from. Maybe it was salmonella.
