re: Otto Warmbier has died

Barring him never having gone to NK or him coming back unharmed, this is the best outcome for this family.

There are fates worse than death. Being maintained on machines and meds for about 20 years is horrendous for all involved. Those parents watching their son get old in a bed from the age of 22-23? Watching him get gray hairs, gray stubble, wrinkles all while he is bedridden with zero hope of improvement. In and out of hospitals for bladder infections and pneumonia every few weeks. A strong healthy body of 23 years old could hang on a LONG time with decent health care. And all cost the family millions.

Thoughts go out to that family. They can't possibly see it yet, but his passing was a blessing. The only thing that could bring them a good outcome is a time machine.
