Comments for Corey J Feldman http://www.coreyjf.com Not an 80's actor Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:46:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Miss you Mom by Bill Landau http://www.coreyjf.com/2012/02/miss-you-mom/comment-page-1/#comment-5144 Bill Landau Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:46:00 +0000 http://www.coreyjf.com/?p=1612#comment-5144 Corey - Came to your blog this morning, from the FaceBook link.  Being the anal type I am (at least in some ways, not in how neat my office is not), I had to go back and read it all from the beginning. So I have now been through the last 4+ years of your life.  And I think I can say that your mother would be very proud of you over the last three years.  Even if she'd be a little puzzled about your joining an orthodox shul (okay, modern orthodox). Like you, I grew up with a more tenuous, other side of reform, Judaism.  My parents, z"l, were atheists, former communists, but with a strong Jewish identity.  So they joined a reform synagogue so that I and my sister could have a Jewish education.  They may have been atheists, but the G-d that they didn't believe in was the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So when I joined an Orthodox shul, it confused my mom.  And when I became secretary, even more so (she didn't live to see me become treasurer and then president).  But I still remember the Friday afternoon when I stopped by her apartment, as every week, and as I left to get home for Shabbat, she said "Good Shabbos.  There, I said it!"  Amazed at herself, I think. It has been more than 17 years, but I still think of her almost every day. May your mother's memory always be for a blessing, and may you always make her proud.

And of course pumping blood doesn't make something a person either (I'm not a vegan). A fertilized egg, is not capable of thought, emotion or pain. There is no brain to process any information. It is nothing but potentiality.  As with the example from another friend (also a David) below gave - if I had to choice between my two children (or any two children, even strangers), it would be an agonizing and unbearable choice.  But is anyone truly going to agonize over the fertilized eggs they were unable to save? I wouldn't loose any sleep over it.  Dave, Fertilized egg sitting in a test tube won’t start pumping its own blood in a few weeks either.
