Of course, the British academic union has voted to boycott the Technion. I wonder what one of the boycotters would do if he needed this cancer treatment, or one of the so many other scientific inventions coming from there.

Indeed. I also wonder what the smug, self-righteous swine who ban physician-assisted suicide on "moral" grounds would think if their lives were an unending medical nightmare.
