The guidelines centre on withdrawing treatment - such as tube-feeding - from coma or brain-dead patients if procedures are "risky, intrusive, destructive, exhausting, painful or repugnant" and cost outweighs benefit or success. Well, since there is NO risk, intrusion, destruction, exhaustion or from a feeding tube and because, by definition, to deny someone food and water is repugnant, it seems that the culture of death will simply focus on the cost.

does it matter if it turns clockwise or counter, when something is circling the drain as fast as Australian civilization seems to be?

I guess I should move and speak more when the kids are here at the house, just so they don't get the wrong idea.

These people have very strange ideas about what is "worth" throwing money at, into the bottomless pit of social engineering programs, and what is not worth "throwing money at"--life. They constantly seek ways to fund abortion,overturn capitol punishment (so taxpayers can bear the burden of supporting convicted violent criminals for their natural lifespan), but they condemn measures to prolong, or bring to fuition, innocent life (abortion, euthanasia). They are utterly immoral and corrupt, and they are gaining in the "culture wars". But all of this was foretold.
