We all die.
Sometimes some are served if some of us die a bit sooner.
Often many are served.
I save this, and will post it when I think it is appropriate, and I will do so without any feelings of remorse or sadness.
I will not think of the families, or those who find me crass.
I'll only think of the fact that the harm they do and have done will - for now - have ceased.
There was a man who, everyday, would buy a newspaper on the way to
work, glance at the headline, and hand it back to the newsboy. Day
after day the man would go through this routine. Finally the newsboy
could not stand it and he asked the man, "Why do you always buy
a paper and only look at the front page before discarding it?"
The man replied, "I am only interested in the obituaries."
"But they are on page 21. You never even unfold the newspaper."
"Young man," he said, "the son of a bitch I'm looking for will be
on the front page."

I'd amend the word to 'relief' and hope against cloning. No such luck, probably.
