There seem to be two concepts that you folks can’t grasp: 1.) healthcare resources are limited and 2.) everybody has to die eventually. The example I used was a symbolic example to illustrate those points. FYI, I’m an RN and guess what? I don’t care which of the patients you are, you would both get the same level of care from me regardless of what color you are, how much money you made in your life, which god you worshipped or didn’t worship, or which political party you were in, whether you had insurance or whether you were receiving care on the taxpayers dime or whether you were a US citizen or not because all life is equally sacred, right?
Exactly! All finite resources are rationed one way or another even if we don’t realize it. We need to find a way to manage healthcare in a way that respects life. Personally I believe we all should have a right to self-determination. The problem is the system we currently have encourages us to make whatever choices we want, but damn if anyone will pay for any of it.
Another thing I find amusing is people who are pro-life, but have no problem pulling a plug on some they don’t consider “worthy”.
Wrong in your ASSumptions.
What you don't seem to grasp is that we see what you're up to. Situational ethics is liberal playbook tactics.
Where have I heard that before? Could you repeat it, in German?
This thread is about the DELIBERATE KILLING of human beings. What are your feelings on that.
The example I used was a symbolic example to illustrate those points.
So, the shortage of ventilators is actually a type of "boogie man" that the Obamacare crowd has invented and even though it doesn't exist you want to organize a health care system that assumes it does?

I'm guessing that you've been seduced by the culture of death and either don't realize or do realize it but think the pro-life crowd is too ignorant to figure it out.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re an RN. At which hospital do you work? I’d prefer to avoid it.
So you wouldn't discriminate against any of your patients based on those criteria? What about their disabilities, mental capacity, emotional status, etc? How safe would a patient with a severe brain injury be on your shift? Would an elderly woman with Alzheimer's Disease stand a chance around you? How about a man with advanced Parkinson's Disease? Is anyone safe around you?
