Stephen Hawkins has outlived his usefulness.

Stephen Hawkins has outlived his usefulness, it seems that his ALS is effecting his brain, he is no longer able to think clearly.

Who is Stephen Hawkins?
Who is VegetarianTaxidermy and where does she live?

Ofc we all know who Stephen Hawkings is. You can still do a search for Stephen Hawkings and find him under his correct spelling, but some people are incapable of doing that.

Has Stephen Hawkings outlived his usefulness? I think not. His discoveries and formulations will outlive him. How many people have accomplished what he did during his lifetime?

I like to point out too that Hawking's work will stimulate other scientists in cosmology for many years to come.

Perhaps, but he has survived ALS a lot longer than normal, I wonder what heroic medical treatment is keeping him alive? And are those paying for the treatment and medication still getting a return on their investment?

Lots of people have outlived their usefulness, and some of us had precious little to start with. Why single out Hawkin?

So you are a useless bleeding heart liberal, "We just gotta help those people," whether they want help or not.

As long as we can use someone else's money to help.
