The Canadian government research found 20 times as much ammonia, a chemical linked to cancer, New Scientist said.

The Health Canada team also found five times as much hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxides, which are linked to heart and lung damage respectively. [/i]


You know what I really don't understand? How people can read about all the awful pollutants they are putting in their bodies, yet still choose to smoke. Why on earth would you?
I mean, hydrogen cyanide? Are people actually willing to breathe that stuff in? Shocked

She had been in a vegetative state for weeks, said her mother, Hilda.

I think that sums it up.  Sensationalism at its best.  How do we know she wasn't literally a vegetable? Europe probably would have done the same thing except they trust their health with their governments.


The fact that she was in a vegetative state likely had something to do with the insurance company withdrawing their decision to pay for the transplant.
The girl may very likely have died during surgery - no insurance company is going to pay for surgery that would likely end someones life. What would be the point?
