No, I am not advocating taking affirmative steps to end someone’s life. I am advocating a reasonable cost vs. benefits analysis on the use of treatments that were not available 10, 20, 30 years ago, because we cannot allow or afford to treat everyone to the full extent of medical technology regardless of cost.

Actually, you're advocating for putting a dollar value on a human life.

Human life cannot and should not be simply reduced to $$$$$$'s.

Advocating for a cost vs. benefit analysis puts you solidly in the pro-death, euthanasia camp.
