Oesophageal cancer was a direct result of his smoking and drinking. Not the most clever of moves for a man as "clever" as Mr Hitchens. <br /><br />Second, his body would be of no use to medical science. If he didn't know that, shame on him. Medical science needs cadavers that die of natural causes. Basically healthy bodies that show normal anatomy. A body that is ravaged by cancer (and the treatment thereof) is of no use to medical science. There is nothing interesting about a death from cancer. <br /><br />So take his writings for what they were: the thoughts of one man. If they resonate with you, that's great. But if you follow in his footsteps, beware that hard drinking and smoking is, for most people a long term sentence of death. <br /><br />Nitrous Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073647307948118016.post-26453264218167546482013-06-03T09:20:39.214+03:002013-06-03T09:20:39.214+03:00I didn't know that he was devotee to atheism.....I didn't know that he was devotee to atheism..Randy Freemanhttp://www.athletestore.co.uk/for-goodness-shakes-sports-recoverynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073647307948118016.post-55099723811667238832013-04-17T16:35:07.032+03:002013-04-17T16:35:07.032+03:00I'm still missing himI'm still missing himAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073647307948118016.post-25772347697695619802012-02-10T13:15:04.771+02:002012-02-10T13:15:04.771+02:00You will find that eternal gratitude will only be ...You will find that eternal gratitude will only be in THIS life.
