[wasanthah]

Humanity is our culture & soul

[nativemrv19722]

Amazing i didn't know we could do that...

[yourtreat2]

I have never found anything except child birth to be as disgusting a procedure as this.

[ilovewathsala]

Sri Lanka is a great country with amazing culture

How about disease transmission from the new eye?

Doesn't the body reject the new tissue?

@ThePayola123

Considering they're talking about Corneas, and thinking back to my hazy highschool biology classes, I believe Corneas don't have the chemical markers that induce an immune response, so they're a pretty safe transplant.

Steph sounds so melancholic at the end when she says "Al Jazeera" :(

@TwoTube2 I wouldn't read too much into it. SL historically had the best health and education systems in South Asia, actually of a first world standard. Until the war anyway. Hopefully it's starting to improve again now the conflict's over.

As a long time Buddhist myself, I'm not sure I personally agree with the exact rebirth beliefs here at all. But the habit of looking "what else is there for me to give" is profound. May more religions and cultures take up the habit.

@Vire70, believing in multiple gods? Thats the the worst act a created being could do.

[hayden50]

@TheBarnebus you're bigot & a retard, worst combination

[MsColdCanada]

@TheBarnebus What are your thoughts on organ donation? Will you be giving of yourself to help others after you die?

[Vire70]

@TheBarnebus

It's a good thing none of us are 'created beings' then. 

[achinthamb]

@TheBarnebus With all due respect.. man created the God not the other way.

[Chamath5B]

@TheBarnebus haaaa there are 30000 gods.Lord Buddha is superior to all after Lord Buddha Vishnu,Kali and Ganesh comes then after about 1000 other gods there comes your allah and christian god

[Vire70]

Well we already knew Buddhism was one of the few decent religions.

[selfworm]

@Vire70 It's more decent than most, but it still has its own problems.

[hayden50]

@selfworm problems ? such as ?

[selfworm]

@hayden50 Such as belief in false mythology.

[Vire70]

@selfworm

Oh, no doubt. I'd sooner see all religion disassembled but if I had to pick just a couple to keep, Buddhism would be on the list.
