However, the decision should not lie with “officials” who can choose based on thier own criteria. It should be left to the individuals and their families with the advice of a caring physician.

10 families and their physicians agree, they want to put the patient on a ventilator. There are 5 ventilators. What's your solution?

That is an unrealistic straw-man construct - I'm not taking the bait.

The decision should lie with the afflicted and their families and within their own means and needs. I don't owe you squat if we have similar circumstances; you have no right to appeal to authority to take from me and my family for you and your's benefit (that's elitists’ mentality).

The introduction of government and/or bureaucrats into that equation is exactly what we stand against.

That's why we aren't giving the government our resources and the right to decide our ‘disposition’ (obamacare).
