[Servant of the 9]

If the hospital is publicly owned, the solution is political.
If it is privately owned, then neither it nor the Doctors involved have any 'duty' to perform any action they don't want to perform.

If you have the money, you can find someone qualified and willing to treat you. If you don't have money, and that includes insurance, that is unfortunate, but not my problem.

To my mind, if a hospital does not want to provide care for a patient, they should discharge the patient. The patient, or guardian should be allowed to then seek out someone else to provide care.

The thing that many people find most offensive about Terri Schiavo's case is that not only is Michael not providing proper care himself, but he is actively working to prevent others from doing so.
