I was only teasing calling you a newbie.

I welcome challenging viewpoints here.

But just because you work in a hospital environment doens't give you expertise on how a profit and loss statement does or doesn't fit into the decision process.

I can also see the benefits of keeping this baby alive for research and training purposes. It seems that this might have been done as long as they could without causing the baby too much discomfort.

A sad event in any case.

Still "friends"?

From the article""He is slowly suffocating to death because his lungs lack the capability to support his body," the hospital said.

It sounds like the mother was not competent enough to make the decisions.

I can also see the benefits of keeping this baby alive for research and training purposes.

In this specific case, I see this as the crueler alternative.

It would be a cold day in hell before I would let a child of mine linger "for research and training purposes." A VERY cold day.

Certainly! I got a bit defensive and so did you...no big deal. The difference between libs and conservatives is that we resolve differences and move on. Militant
