  1. Man sets self aflame at Seattle college and dies

   I understand that with today's prices, the holiday season, and just the stress of everyday living will wear and tear on all of use after a while, but to choose this way out? How painful this must have been on him and those who saw it. Maybe it's something that has crossed all our minds at one time or another but death by fire to me proves it was the desperate act of someone who really needed help. maybe if we all took a little more time to listen and try to help each other just one life might be spared. Who know's, it could be someone we care about.. Let each of us do what we can today to make it a safe one not only for ourselves but those around us as well. We're  blessed,  we the the game world to vent our stress on!

The first company I worked for coming out of college's main product was an autologous skin graph for severe burn victims. We would get in a biopsy from the victim, about the size of a postage stamp, and over the course of 3-4 weeks grow it up to a set of graphs that could cover the whole body. Where it was the patient's own skin, no rejection issues, etc. However, we always heard again and again how poor shape these people were in (was routine that the larger "orders" would die before we could get the product made). No way in hell should anyone ever consider burning as the right way out. If you don't do it right, you are in more agony than a person should ever endure.
