Should society commit the necessary assets for every person on life support to stay alive as long the machines can keep them?...It’s a question that should be considered.

It's a decision that every family in these circumstances considers as carefully as any decision can be considered, and the decision should be theirs.

If they or their insurance can not or will not pay, should the collective society then pay?

There's only so many hospital beds, so many life support machines, and all the while this baby is using one, it is denied to another person who might be able to benefit.

And we're not even talking about the financial costs.
