"I can see a time when almost all of our nation's health care budgets could be consumed by such costs if life is to be prolonged as long as there is a remote flicker detectable. At what point do we say we can't afford it?"

Enter socialized medicine. The liberals think that will give equal medical "care" to all (leading many to believe that it would provide the best available care to anyone in need), but what it really means is that it will no longer be doctors and families making medical decisions on behalf of individuals, but that those critical choices will be made by bureaucRATs and will be based on what they deem to be most expedient and cost effective. They believe they have that right. You seem to agree with them, at least to an extent. I do not.

I posted this on the long thread, but am repeating it here, because I haven't heard anyone mention this before now.

Earlier watching OReilly, the atty for the Schindlers was on with Terri's brother.

The atty said that every option seems to be exhausted.

But she said something I had not heard elsewhere, that there is a Florida statute that states that food cannot be withheld from a disabled adult.

I hope someone is moving on this.
