Boy Dies After Being Granted His Last Wish

Hannah Tennant-Moore — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:35:00 GMT

Lorraine Fleming, whose son Reece died of cancer recently, is holding on to the comfort that Reece was granted his last wish before he died: to marry his school sweetheart.

After 8-year-old Reece, who had battled cancer for half of his life, was told that he had only a few weeks to live, he popped the big question to Elleanor Pursglove, his close friend of many years. She accepted, and on the appointed day, Elleanor arrived at Reece’s house in a wedding dress. Her mother acted as vicar as the school friends exchanged rings and vows. Reece, dressed in his favorite shirt, also presented Elleanor with a red rose.

Prior to getting “married,” Reece had told his mother, “I’m not ready to go yet.” But the night of the wedding, he seemed truly at peace. “Mum, I can go now,” he told Lorraine. He died the next day.

Reece had fulfilled many other life ambitions as well, such as riding in a Ferrari and a Porsche, having a pirate party, and spending a day at a fire station.

Catholic Schoolkids Discouraged From Seeing "Bodies"

Kelly Mills — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 22:28:00 GMT

My sister approached me last year and claimed she needed to tell me something. "After I'm dead," she said, "I want my body to go to science, but please do not let them use me in any sexual poses on display." "Excuse me?" I asked. Well, it turns out that she had seen the "Bodies" exhibit, and while she believes she won't be attached to her corporeal form once she leaves this mortal coil, she still would prefer not to be on display in any compromising positions. For those who don't know, "Bodies" is an exhibit featuring cadavers preserved in a polymer, and then posed, often with various layers or bits removed so that you can see, for example, what muscles look like when someone is running. It is a completely badass anatomy lesson.

The archbishop of Cincinnati is not sure he wants Catholic schoolchildren to see this though. He even sent a letter to school administrators, saying "I do not believe that this exhibit is an appropriate destination for field trips by our Catholic schools." However, he didn't actually say not to go to the exhibit. Now, why do you think he had a problem with "Bodies"? Because the cadavers on display were unclaimed bodies from northeastern China. While some argue that since the bodies were unidentified, there was no one to ask for permission to display them, others contend that with China's human rights abuses history, it is possible they were political prisoners and that their identity is actually known. These ethical issues were enough to motivate the archbishop to dissuade Catholic kids from making this a field trip.
