The Hemlock Society or Focus on the Family?

I borrowed this image from the people's voice 

Recently I mentioned that CBS' decision to show a commercial during the Super Bowl featuring Tim Tebow and his mother, which some consider "anti-abortion" should be equally met with an advertisement advocating Dr. Kevorkian and the Hemlock Society, which I feel is "anti-suffering."  A human's right to choose directly equates to "quality of life" issues.

Derek Humphry's interview in Playboy Magazine August, 1992 shed new light for me on The Hemlock Society and enriched my views about assisted suicide, as David Sheff regards Humphry with a cynical eye in this report. I have been interested in this topic of "death and dying" for at least a quarter of a century, and I'm glad to have found something more to read on the subject.

Oh the wondrous things I find in old Playboy Magazines! The Svengali of Suicide? Whatever.

Cybersex....Adventures in Cyberspace?

The graphic images in many magazines fascinate me. I always try to do a bit of research on artists whose drawings capture my attention. Who are these artists, and did they go on to become famous?

I found this great artwork by Tim O'Brien in Playboy Magazine April 1992 (article by Walter Lowe, Jr.)

In this case, the image tells the story (sorry, but I cut off the portion where it shows a gloved hand with computer electrodes attached--don't want to ruin a fantastic condition magazine by cracking the binding).

My quick Google search for Tim O'Brien brought up this page of his works. I'd say he has indeed made a splash on the art scene.

Will I read the article? I doubt it....cybersex is not a subject I have much interest in, although  I may end up reading all about the sinister world of Charles Keating.
