I'm sorry you seem to have taken offence at me calling you patronising and won't be staying long, that's your choice. However you made it it personal when you said my life would still be meaningful and important to you if I couldn't perform the most basic of tasks. True babies can't wipe their own bums, but the difference is they will be able to be taught how to do so as they develop. I will not be sitting in a wheel chair unable to speak and perform simple tasks by the time I'm fifty, trust me. The quality of my life is more important to me than the length of it, as an atheist I'm not confused on the issue that I might be playing God.
