So who decides?
So you already admit that if your poor you're SOL? Just go die somewhere?
The question isn't whether or not they would "benefit" to go down that road is to concede the whole point - some lives are more valuable that others.
That's not a slippery slope, that's a bottomless pit.
First off I find that suspect to start with..
But secondly... why should a doctor prescribe a drug... maybe it is against his morals like them pharmies that wont give out certain drugs...
One can always find another doctor who isnt morally constrained so to speak...
just some thoughts.
> So you already admit that if your poor you're SOL?
Well... yeah. It sucks to be poor. Always has. All efforts to amke rich and poor equal have been staggering failues. Look up "Stalin" for further references.
> some lives are more valuable that others
Some lives *are*.
Here are a few choices. You can save "A" or "B", but not both.
1: A boat is sinking, far from land and in choppy seas. "A" is Osama Bin Laden. "B" is you. There is one life jacket. Who do you give it to?
2: A bus is on fire. "A" is a six year old child. "B" is a 104 year old Alzheimers patient who hasn't spoken an intelligible word in ten years. Who do you pull from the flames?
3: You have one bullet left. "A" is your teenage daughter. "B" is the scumbag who's just about to rape her. Who do you shoot (keep in mind: you can always shoot yourself)?
Some lives *ARE* more valuable than others.
> That's not a slippery slope
No, it's not. It's common sense.
