doctor@doctor.nl2k.ab.ca deliver unto us this message:
> Their romance is cut short when Timicin reveals a devastating truth: he is 60 years old and must soon return to his home world for "The Resolution"�a ritual in which he will voluntarily end his life. This is a deeply ingrained custom on his planet, meant to ensure that the elderly do not become a burden on the younger generations.

I don't even remember this episode, but it sounds interesting. It might
have some implications for death with dignity (aka MAID).
I wish you added your own thoughts on these episodes instead of just
posting Gemini's output. Human discussion is always more interesting. Up
to you, of course. :-)
