Summary:	Quark returns from a visit to his homeworld of Ferenginar with the distressing news that he has an extremely rare disease that should end his life within a week. Since a Ferengi must pay off his debts before he dies, Quark decides to put up his remains for bidding on the Ferengi Futures Exchange to earn the needed latinum. After the sale, Quark discovers he was misdiagnosed and will not die. Now, he must choose between the dishonor of breaking a Ferengi contract and his own death.
