this IS TRUE I SUPPOSE.  I SUPPOSE I SORT OF SPEAK FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
WHEN I SAY IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE TO GETHER AND NOT SIN, AS MY HUSBAND HAS
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND I LIVE WITH HIM AND WE HAVE HAD NO RELATIONS AND I
DO NOT SIN WITH OTHERS.  also, I HAVE PERSONALLY KNOWN CELIBATE PEOPLE.  I
JUST ASSUMED IF THE WILL WERE STRONG ENOUGH IT COULD BE DONE BUT IF THAT IS
IMPOSSIBLE THEN BY NO MEANS SHOULD ONE DO IT.
