Hi Santosh, It is a pity you could not come up with a better scientific explanation as to the disparity between societies. Interestingly my Chinese physician colleague tells me there is an antipathy in the Chinese culture towards organ donation.
The scientific point I thought a scientist would make is: Do Indian Christians donate organs much more often that others Indians? The disparity in donation rates among various cultural groups (across the globe), would reinforce the point that Dinesh was making. The dominant surrounding attitudes influence human behavior of theists (any religion) or atheists living in that society. Kind Regards, GL -------------- Santosh Helekar It appears that the "good" point the above statement is trying to make is that it is not just religion that makes someone good, but it is the right kind of western religion, which coincidentally happens to be that of Gilbert. Poor Indians practice the wrong religion - evidently a less moral one. --- Gilbert Lawrence wrote: > >I think this is a good point.
