You say "tomâto." I say "tomäto." You say "triage." I say "murder."

Triage does not involve killing patients, and it doesn't involve refusing to treat patients that can and should be treated. It does not involve separating patients based on your own unrelated biases against certain patients who are the wrong race, gender, religion, eye color, or disability.

But this kind of decision happens every day. Do you give a liver transplant to an alcoholic, or to a 25 year old active young father.

What about prisoners with life - terms (this happened recently in California), do they get the same priority on transplant lists as all other patients. A end of life cancer patient has pneumonia, do you treat the pneumonia, or do you just keep the patient comfortable with morphine?

As others have said, "life" today can be continued for decades with artificial medical interventions, but does that always mean it should be?
