Do you think the operation should have taken place?

Although it is very regrettable they didn’t make it, they were both aware of the risks, weren’t they? They chose to take the risk, unfortunately the risk turned out to be too big.

I think those doctors also saw it as an experiment, maybe they had to refuse the operation untill technology was further devolped and untill the they had more knowledge about that sort of situations, but now it’s too late to discus that. Besides , the twins were aware of the risk.

Very sad story. I think it was right that they had the operation though, it was what both of them wanted and they knew the risks involved.

I thought it was really sad to see the news yesterday about their deaths. What irratated me though, was the media taking pictures of the grieving relatives, why do the press not give a shit about anything??

You thought that was bad, did you see the picture of Marc Vivien-Foe taken when he he was dying on the pitch? It was horrible, and I felt really shaken when I saw it, but really angry that the paper had smacked such a huge picture ( it took up nearly 3 quarters of the front page ) up of something that had upset so many people, totally insensitive, especially to his relatives.

It’s a shame that the twins died, but I think the important part to remember in all of this is that they knew of the risks, but still took them..I think that says more about the operation being justified in taking place than any amount of media post mortems ever could.

Definately agree, it was a very disturbing picture. I saw it in a newspaper in the airport, I was shocked, not in the least by the picture. The look on his face, it made me feel sick!

Who is this person??? Never heard of it!!!
But I think it would be the same when Pim Fortuin was shot in his head and died and pictures from close where on the frontpage of that… so sick!!! It was horrible to see, and what about little kids, it’s in every shop at the counter. Just SICK!!! But as long as people buy it, people will print it!!!

Yes, the pic can be compared to the picture of Pim Fortuyn, only less bloody. Foé’s face had the same empty and lifeless look, quite scary. Of course the impact of Fortuyn’s death was far heavier, also due to the fact that he was murdered.

Regarding Foé’s death: he played a heavy season in the British Premier League, the heaviest league in the world in terms of the number of matches played. After the regular season, a tournament was held in France between nations, including Cameroon (Foé’s country). This tournament was held about 2 weeks ago. When Foé died, he played his third match in one week, with temperatures of 42 degrees Celcius. What more proof is needed that the football-calendar is a bit to full??

And to make things even worse, the FIFA decided that the tournament should go on! In fact, another match was played just hours after Foé’s death. The whole tournament should have stopped actually, but I guess the commercial and financial interests were too big, same goes for those damn newspapers that published that horrible picture.
