Well if a feeding tube is that expensive, perhaps we should make certain that the only people receiving medical treatment in our society ACTUALLY are from our society?
Might that cut down on the "heavy" drain of our available societal medical funds?

BTW, we are one Florida Senate vote away from saving Terri Schiavo from murder.
Thamks for all your assistance!

That's like arguing that the basic, "self-evident" or "inalienable" human rights at the heart of our Declaration apply only to citizens of the United States, per the Constitution.

Sanctity of life makes no distinction of citizenship, race, creed, sex, handicap or development.

Hypocrisy is a terrible way to compound an already alarming and very sad -- not to mention lethal -- situation.

false expectations are financed by taxpayers. Patients and families have too strong an incentive to use societal resources for their own ends and too little liability if they persist against expert advice. There is no balance of power between these forces and those who have to pay the bill for their decisions

It is all the fault of the jews, who are causing us to be poor. Wasn't that how it went? Pit one group against the other. "Your taxes are high because these people insist on keeping Grandma alive against our wishes".
