Looking into the Ark

Looking into the Ark
After the Philistines returned the Ark of the Covenant, several people looked inside and died. My first thoughts were that this is what happens to an employee, a member of a political party, or a team member who questions the ethos and morals of the organisation; they are ostracised or fired. Then I noticed a comment in the newspaper that a head transplant would be possible within ten years and the Bible story took on a more important lesson. Let's assume we have a student who has applied for assisted suicide at a time when the head of a Stephen Hawkins; a twenty two year old soccer star, for whom his English team have paid a million pounds; a millionaire in America; or the director of a Polit Bureau in Russia, all need a body and make up your own mind about the outcome. It takes morality into the financial arena. If we accept head transplant, what will this be the harvest of this whirlwind? The murder of those sleeping in the street or the sale of children in a return of the days of the body snatchers? So the real lesson is that, when it comes to morality, there are no free lunches. Adultery sacrifices loyalty, murder sacrifices security (if it's all right for one person to do it, they justify for them to be murdered) etc. etc.
