These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that.

I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete.

Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.
