Even if your loved one's desires are products of this world, why would you deny fulfilling their wishes in their time of death, when they are in a state of dependence? I have bought meat for a sick person and acted like it was as neutral as air. My heart drops. I digest myself. It is no one's fault. It is everyone's fault. It's as sickening as any other purchase.
