The point of our existence

PREFACE: I apologize again for the lack of posts as of late. I have finally gotten my computer back and I am ready to roll, all the way through exams.

I won't say much about this story. There is an even better story about "Paternalism", but it is not available for free on the economist.com. However, I will say that no matter what you believe, the main difference between humans and most other creatures is that humans are able to make decisions. Taking away that freedom to make decisions goes against the man teachings of most modern religions and agains human nature.
