we’re not talking about tylenol, we’re talking about keeping people alive on immensely expensive machines. Big difference.

Let's see:

First you claimed that there was a shortage of ventilators, but you were unable to cite a single instance of this being true.

Then you said it was about the terminally ill and letting them die. What does money have to do with that?

Later you opined about debating with Stephen Hawking and he actually does use some very expensive medical equipment.

Then you tried to blame it all on Christians.

The bottom line is you are defending EVERY SINGLE TALKING POINT that Zero and his ilk are using to push death panels on us.

it's pretty obvious that you are purposely missing the point.

and I'm sure he's paying plenty out of his own pocket for all of that. I guarantee that.

No, I didn't blame anything on anyone, I just suggested that injecting religion into this debate takes waters that were already pretty murkey and makes them even more so. God isn't paying the medical bills btw.

the bottom line is that you can't accept death and dieing and your misguided sense of ethics and morality are the reason why we have a government take over of healthcare. answer me this, should we the tax payers be paying for all of these lifesaving services for people who can't afford them, people like... illegal aliens for example?

Ventilator shortage is warning of potential crisis

By WARREN WOLFE, Star Tribune Last update: March 14, 2008 - 9:33 AM

Last week, so many ventilators were in use in Minnesota hospital intensive care units that many hospitals rented extras and several hospitals shifted patients with respiratory problems elsewhere for care.

"Was it a crisis? No, but it got a little too close for comfort," said Dr. John Hick of Hennepin County Medical Center and medical director for an emergency-preparedness compact among the 29 metro hospitals.

If human beings are disposable commodities, there's a giant oil leak north of here... if we are going back to the stone ages, instead of calling it mercy, maybe human sacrifices to the earth would be the correct term (sarcasm tag). The less meaning life has, the further back in time we drift as people.

Death cultists are the new neanderthals.
