Suicide (and a wife) links a heart donor and recipient.

Both of the woman's husbands died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds? I'd be double-checking her out!

This story got play around here before the suicide, when it was a sweet story.

I'm guessing the recipient had health problems we didn't want to deal with.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I'm reminded of the joke that has the punchline "They're still figuring out how he managed to bind his wrists and gag himself before he committed suicide."
