Mood: Move on. It is just a chapter in the past, but don't close the book- just turn the page

Really Dennis, this all sounds quite novel and fascinating! Can you quote the sources please?

Not entirely so. There are cases in the annals of conversion that note a compromise in beliefs so as to keep the interest of the converts. I believe the Spanish were aware of this judicious tolerance.

I found a very good source on this on the San Miguel Allende health info site. I will also post another topic thread on this specifically.

Very timely topic here - Bajaguy, recently we have also been trying to get info about the Mexican equivalent of what I think is called a Living Will in the States - document which gives POA to someone who can make medical decisions for you if you are not able to do so yourself. Do you (or EnsenadaDr) know if there is a Mexican equivalent for this? and what is the name for it in Spanish? We have been told that medical decisions will be made by the relatives as long as they prove their relationship with vital records. Well, what if there are no relatives nearby (which I imagine is probably a fairly common state of affairs among the ex-pat community) and a time-sensitive decision has to be made?

Mulegena - hoping for the best for your mother-in-law and all your family.

I remember the shore patrol not falling for me pulling a magnifying glass out of my pocket.
