Wonder how EC moral certitude will be affecting their own children as they grow up. Only time will tell how,this,manipulated social experiment plays out, and it wont be good no matter what, IMO. Families have been destroyed, children have been deprived of loving relationships,with grandparents, elder parents have been tossed aside for a false belief in personal autopsy above all else...and family inheritance and stories will be lost forever! The unintended consequences of an entitlement generation based on falsehoods and manipulation of emotional weaknesses. A game parents have been thrown into blindly. One without a rule book and no way to rectify, yet alone win it. A game I have refused to play with my own estranged adult children. We all lose in the end.

I'm hoping this series can perhaps explain some of the rules. For me, Parts 1, 2 and 3 hold the keys.

I like how this captures both perspectives in a non-partisan and non-judgemental way. True that.
