And you keep implying that I am engaging in mindless emotionalism. Let me put it this way, just suppose the woman did not want to die. Who are we going to stop with? Alzheimer's patients? Stroke victims? The mentally retarded? Drug users? People who cost too much?
What is too much? Remember when you answer that you are talking to someone whose health care bill for the past year, had it not been covered, would be in the tens of thousands of dollars at least. Here's some hard practical thinking for you -- I think that I'd rather pay for a few "marginal" people to get health care than for GW's current Social Security roadshow. Or hey, how about No Child Left Behind. Did you know that Neil Bush sells educational materials these days? http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=11543 That's just a coincidence of course. Just like Halliburton. Shiiiiiiiit. Don't get all moral with me about who is supposed to pay for this stuff.
