Maryland Governor Calls Getting Seasonal Flu Shots a 'Patriotic Duty' 'Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) on Wednesday said it was residents' "patriotic duty" to get seasonal flu shots in coming weeks to make it easier for health officials to determine if outbreaks are related to H1N1, or swine flu.' Rothschilds to Advise on Irish Banking Rejig 'The Irish government has appointed investment bank Rothschild to advise on the restructuring of the country's banking sector, a source close to the firm said on Tuesday. "We will advise the Department of Finance on how to shape the banking system going forward, including the establishment of the National Asset Management Agency and any possible consolidation in the sector," the source said.' Sentenced to Death on the NHS 'Patients with terminal illnesses are being made to die prematurely under an NHS scheme to help end their lives, leading doctors have warned.'

Maybe I wasn't really that surprised. After all, government bureaucrats attempt to control what types of substances you put into your body, what kind of work you do with your body, and even how you can legally dispose of your body after death; it makes perfect sense that they would also scramble for power over what parts of your body should remain attached.
