You nailed it, partner. Medical resources are not infinite; they have to be allocated somehow. If "nobody" has to pay, "nobody" is going to be interested in how much it costs.

Of course, Children's Hospital had to pay. Since they were paying, it should be their call as to whether it was time to stop postponing the inevitable.

By the way, this sort of thing happens often. This is a "first" only because such a stupid case made its way into a court.

If bleeding-heart conservatives want to extend the lives of hopeless cases, then they should contribute thier own money and build their own hospitals. I don't think there's any law against it.

Personally, I think it's a tragic misallocation of resources to provide a neonatal ICU slot for an indisputably hopeless case when thousands of infants and young children die daily for want of cheap, basic care.

The only daily deaths of children in the thousands are in abortion clinics. You just lost any credibility you may have had on this subject.
