Skipping the line - Celebrity right?

[MrBishop]

Prof brought this up in a post I wrote about stem-cell research in Real World (See Superman may walk again)

Here's the idea: Imagine that you're in line for surgery, a transplant, radical treatment.

Who would you allow ahead of you in the line? No family...just celebs.

Like I mentioned in the other post...I'd let Stephen Hawking ahead of me...he's likely to contribute more to the science world than I am ever likely to myself.

What about you?


BTW...I'll kill the first person that says "Britney Spears or Leonardo diCaprio.

Yes but what would someone like Tom Cruise achieve by getting there first? He hasnt done anything major with his life, not invented anything or indulged in dedicated scientific research that will improve our ways of life has he now.

BACK OF THE LINE BUB

If I could work out a deal ahead of time, I'd let Haley in front of me. If not just for the view.

 

[greenfreak]

No one. Regardless of their notoriety, they're still just people just like I am.

 

[freako104]

[chcr]

The end of the line is back there, asshole!

 

[samcurry]

That's the point Princesslissa...that they CAN and often DO buy a spot at the front of the line...and society allows them to. They shouldn't be allowed to ... people should only e allowed head in line through kindness or charity... of the people lettin' them in.

Funny you should phrase it like that, bish, since many of them get tothe shortlist through charitable donations (a new wing, MRI scanner, etc) to those very same hospitals.
