Your feelings on [Mr. Nicklinson’s death](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-19341722), conflicted? For me, I have scoliosis and have chosen not to continue my genetic line so it’s not passed on any more than it has been. Other women w/ scoliosis have been offended by my choice, I’ve learned. Do you feel any personal judgment in his decision?
