I normally agree 100% with my colleague and friend, Senator Ruane, but on this occasion I have some reservations. It is all right for the World Health Organization to have a utopian view and of course it allowed Senator Ruane to give a splendid view of utopian social circumstances. However, while I am a pretty jolly person and I have been relatively healthy since I got somebody else's liver installed, I do not think I have ever had complete physical, mental and social well-being. That is something to aim for but I do not think it exists very much in the real world. I do not oppose the amendment but I have some reservations about it because I think it is utopian.
