Just having motivation is not enough redhand Send a noteboard - 11/12/2009 03:52:40 PM
You know, Kings, Queens, Emperors have had motivation to seek the Fountain of Youth, and many did desperated seeked it. That does not mean anyone who failed is being an idiot.

Given today's technology, we say Human Growth Hormone can work to a certain degree, and it is available from urine of very young children. And it had been used as folk remedy for a long time, so there are hints. Does that mean those alchemists, which includes Sir Isaac Newton, who failed to discover and concentrate it are being idiots?

And the idea of torturing sisters to test her theory. I mean, wasn't that what the Nazi doctors were accused of doing, and being a war crime? Why don't we experiment on death row inmates, freezing them and then dethaw them to see what happens? Can we realy perserve someone for 1000 years by deep freezing them? To gain knowledge through inmoral human experiments would probably make Verin a true member of the Black Ajah, and make her unwilling to go to the Light.

If she did that, shouldn't she remain a BA, so she can gain more knowledge by doing more experiemnts on regular folks, like finding out how long a person can live with all his blood drained?

You bring up some good points BlackAdder - 09/12/2009 03:20:37 AM 1045 Views
What if Verin really WAS Black? Lord Haart - 09/12/2009 03:32:07 PM 853 Views
Pretty much agree with you. Great Lord of Chaos - 09/12/2009 03:21:08 AM 818 Views

Re: Silly Verin! She did not need to die. TheUltimateReality - 09/12/2009 06:11:02 AM 820 Views
And does she know that Stilling breaks the Oaths? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 09/12/2009 06:16:54 AM 358 Views
She should. Some of the Aes Sedai who swore to Rand had been Stilled and then Restored by Flinn. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/12/2009 03:18:10 PM 784 Views
Then, wouldn't the BA/Shadow just kill her off? I think it'd be kind of obvious what she did. *NM* Fox and Ravens - 09/12/2009 03:23:05 PM 505 Views
I think that's beyond the BA's capabilities. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/12/2009 03:48:03 PM 675 Views
Doesn't mean they experimented with it. Fanatic-Templar - 09/12/2009 08:48:23 PM 727 Views
Rebels had no reason to research a way to break the oaths. Verin did. Datakim - 10/12/2009 02:00:21 AM 760 Views
You're going at it upside-down. Fanatic-Templar - 10/12/2009 02:33:41 AM 734 Views
Verin should have figured it out Datakim - 10/12/2009 03:03:14 AM 718 Views
Why? Fanatic-Templar - 10/12/2009 04:15:45 AM 713 Views

It all seems intuitively obvious to me! Datakim - 10/12/2009 07:58:46 PM 856 Views
Will you please look at your argument? Fanatic-Templar - 10/12/2009 09:40:42 PM 777 Views

Agreed, you also need a working brain. Where did Verin's go? Datakim - 12/12/2009 12:54:17 AM 619 Views
I don't think those would work rAndy aL - 09/12/2009 07:03:38 AM 749 Views

I always thought Masema was an irritating distraction and was glad he was killed quickly. Tom - 09/12/2009 03:53:44 AM 783 Views
Yes, Masema was a bore. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/12/2009 03:13:40 PM 783 Views
