It depends on the circumstances but generally...yes.

Perhaps you don't know that the term 'neonate' refers to the stage from birth to about 1 month old. Unless. . .are you saying it is okay to kill a baby after they are born?

Ditto

So you are okay with shutting off the respirator even if the person in question has indicated they don't want that to occur.

Sheesh. Disgusting.

I do know. That's why I questioned Romney's judgement. The contraceptive he banned can also be used as an emergency abortifacent on neonates...and pretty much only on neonates.

It's not "ok" to take life at all - any life. But it's done all the time, sometimes out of necessity, more often for less honorable reasons. Making judgements about the morality of doing so is never easy.

Since when is it someone's "right" to command the time and resources of others? Respirators don't run themselves nor do brain-dead individuals take care of themselves in other ways.

But in your wonderful moral scheme it's a sin to not keep them alive...unless, of course, they can't pay you for your efforts. I find it a sin that you would use the word moral to describe your beliefs.
