Wrong. It is the life of a human being. The right to life was given by God and cannot be taken by the governments instituted among men except for a capital offense. Failure to pay bills is not a capital offense.

Refusal to pay for someone else's medical care is not murder. Forcing someone to do so is theft. That's why we conservatives oppose nationalized health care.

Your right to life requires that others don't kill you. It does not require they pay for your cancer treatment, nor that they pay your rent or grocery bills.

Totally wrong.

Every person on the planet could be put on life support indefinitely and no one ever “die” short of being burnt to a crisp or otherwise disassembled...

People die all over the third world because they are dirt poor. Why aren’t you sending all your money to them? Or demanding all our money short of what it takes to survive be sent to the third world? A life is life isn’t it?

It isn’t my duty to pay for your mother’s life support. Nor is it a constitutional right to never ending medical care - or for that matter any care at all.

If the family wants to pay to put their relative on life support then more power to them. Don’t demand by force of law that everyone else pay for it.
