Is the state going to start paying the medical bills? or are they going to force the guardians to continue to pay under threat of arrest?

Do YOU think that those who cannot afford to pay their medical bills should be left to die?

Because if you do, you are basically advocating rationing and death panels.

Why do you seem to oppose the conservative pro-life condition? Or do you just think that the disabled don't deserve to live?

Do you think the Government should take money from me at the point of a gun to pay for it?

Because if you do, you are basically advocating rationing and death panels.

Bullcrap.

Why do you seem to oppose the conservative pro-life condition?

When did the 'conservative' position become forcing one person with the threat of fines, prison, and ultimately death if they don't want to provide money of their own free will?

Or do you just think that the disabled don't deserve to live?

I think people deserve to keep the fruits of their labors without a bunch of Nanny State busybodies demanding their money for whatever pet cause it is they think is 'moral'.

Theft isn't moral no matter the reason you're stealing for.

Everyone has the right to have a living will made out that orders doctors to not give life saving care.

If a person is not legally capable (for whatever reason) of signing such a form themselves then I see no reason why their legal guardians could not do it for them, this IS their purpose under the law.

I didn't see specifically anywhere in the article that said that the guardians thought the boy should be killed because he is retarded. Maybe they are just the type of people (like me) who wouldn't want aggressive measures to be taken to save my life, especially if it was going to bankrupt my family to do so.
