Typical. There is nothing to be joyful about wrt TS's tragedy. However, I do understand that to pretend what she had was nothing but a semblence of life. NO ONE deserves such a fate. Society cannot pay millions to preserve all those in such conditions when there is NO hope they will return. It simply does not have the resources to spend. I know people refuse to deal with this crass subject of money but the facts don't go away.

That's the problem. MONEY is more important than life?

You cannot serve two masters.

You have $100,000.

You can keep one PVS patient alive for five years. Or you can feed 100 hungry children for five years.

What are you going to do?

The problem isn't between money vs. life. It is between life vs. life. The reality is that there are not nearly sufficient resources to provide the highest level of medical care to everyone who can benefit from it, or who can be sustained in life by it. Who pays? How do you allocate limited resources? These are real-world questions.

No obviously not. Now you can try and understand what I was saying or remain locked into a fanatical and unrealizable viewpoint.

Millions die everyday hundreds or thousands could have been saved with the money wasted on TS. Where is your concern for THEIR lives?

How much can be dragged out of the taxpayer to sustain your
fantasies? Already our health care system has become almost bankrupted.
