Default Ending with Possessive

It apears to me that no matter how fine a grasp I seem to have on English, there are always more rules!


"Besides adding complementary flavors to many foods, hot sauces stimulate the release of endorphins in the brain, just as exercise does, and these have a pain-relieving effect, like morphine's "

Why is this correct? I thought it was forbidden to end a sentence with the possessive form?

TetsuroN,

You have invented a rule of English grammar. You can give a sentence the same sort of ending as this one's.

I think you ended your post with a tautology, JEM.

Anyway, TetsuroN, I keep telling you to look into Manhattan Review. They have online courses that you could avail yourself of:
