Glad to see/read another interesting post, Alexandra - it's been too long! Well written (your blogs have improved)...and good thoughts to ponder...but not sure I agree with all of your perspectives/conclusions. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss with you soon - and keep on bloggin'!
Interest blog post. The phrase is too vague. But the notion of quality of life is also a very slippery concept. Each person experiences their life in their own way. And quality of life is highly variable over time. A tough life still has value for those living it. And the hope of change can bring light and drive. A short life still has value. Likewise, a good or high quality of life can change. People find meaning and expression in how they live. I think it is a slippery slope for us to judge the quality of life of someone else. I don’t think your blog is doing that, but these are the thoughts your blog brought up for me.
