My point is that if we start making this about money instead of science and ethics, we are going down the same road the Nazis went down.

Removing a feeding tube is murder, period, unless the person on the feeding tube has clearly expressed their intent to go without it. How much it costs to treat someone has nothing to do with whether it's murder or not.

My point is that if we start making this about money instead of science and ethics, we are going down the same road the Nazis went down.

Here is another "point":
The cost of an in-home feeding tube is just over $30,000 per year. As Randy Richardson HAS NOT indicated an inability to provide for Lauren's medical care, then we must assume that it will not be a problem.

Moreover, NO PARTY to this case has indicated that the cost of Lauren's care is a factor. Therefore, it's not even a matter before the court.

Unfortunately, there are members of the culture of death who CONSTANTLY bring up "costs" as a reason to kill people. This is IDENTICAL to what the Nazis did. If society allows this, it will only be a matter of time where EVERY person will be subject to execution based on some arbitrary formula to determine whether or not their life is "worth living" from a financial point of view.
