Ya when it hits a little closer to home emotions can take over logic.
There is no shortage of yew where I am, but I sure do miss my brother

On the other hand you could still use the bark to make a very nasty poison

And that's why it worked so good. Chemotherapy is nothing but poison that slowly kills you until they stop treatment and let you catch up, then slowly kill you again over and over and over and over. Make me sick just thinking about it again.

Without pain there can be joy and you can't create light without casting a shadow. I think about my buddy every day. It's bitter sweet. I miss him, but as long as he's in my thoughts he's not entirely gone.

Sorry if it seemed like I was picking a tree over someone's loved one, that's not a stance I would take.

I hear you Pearl. It was harder to watch what the chemo did, than to let him go. There has to be a better way.

In Bristol (UK) last year they had a collection of people's yew hedge cuttings for making the drug. I  wondered at the time whether it was just window dressing so the companies can keep harvesting yew trees but people think they are helping.
Speaking for myself (the only person I can speak for), if I had to make the choice of cutting down a thousand year old tree to give me an extra five years of life I'd let the tree stand.
