This article has moved me to finally register and post here. I am inspired and humbled by Hal Finney's grace in the face of adversity.

Every time I look in the mirror, I try to remind myself that what I see is just a vessel and that "I" am really a configuration of information concealed within. I hope that, in the event that I must confront a decline in my physical capacity, this mental exercise will allow me to approach the situation with the same lucidity that Mr. Finney has demonstrated for us all.
