The following are the views of a writer, journalist and artist who forged a career out of travelling the world and covering the odd and unusual before spending a quarter of a century on the inside of international banking in the City of London. http://www.magichelix.com/contact.htm

LIVING BODY, DEAD MIND
I heard the news today. Alzheimers is on the ramage in America. Zombies walking around forgetting people's names, forgetting where they live, forgetting the life they led. Modern medicine keeps the body alive and the mind withers. What's the point. Wouldn't it be better not to prolong the physical beyond the ability of the mind to co-exist comfortably. It's a bit like a married couple where the wife, enamoured by plastic surgery becomes a living manniquin, while the husband lets nature takes its course. The Alzheimers victim become a stranger in their own bodies. Let nature take care of us.
