I think he is saying its true for all people forever that a doctor should 
prefer a patient over a killer germ. You might call that a static pattern
of morality. What do you think? Are there morals that never change?
Like the doctor's duty?

Do you think any part of your consciousness will survive death?

Do you believe in reincarnation?

When I die I believe that the spirit within me returns to universal spirt. 
I will then have either no consciousness at all, or consciousness of
of everything all at once. I tend to believe the latter because those who
have returned from near death experiences have had their outlooks
completely changed. Something profound affects their attitude and 
perspective. 

Have a nice day.
