Now, a few years later, popular opinion even in your country has changed, but for the rest of the world, we still remember those war mongers getting 80% consent and can't help but feel that there seems only a 20% probability of a match between "us, brain and conscious".

Some just flip flop and feel sorry, but then there are some who until today don't see, that their anti french jokes just reflect their own error in judgement. That's just sad.]]>Aug 31st 2008 6:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/french-doctors-use-laser-to-destroy-brain-tumor-in-conscious-pat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/30/french-doctors-use-laser-to-destroy-brain-tumor-in-conscious-pat/

once the brain is destroyed they can cross off conscious, and pass patient on to the next department.
