"One woman even "remarried" the child's biological father and the other woman wanted custody. What a mess! "
The same happens even when you enter the word "man" instead of the "other woman".
"Far more dangerous to ones health than other things the government currently interferes with. And then society pays for these sick folks to receive very expensive care."
Should the good society let "these" people die?
The society also pays for health care of the people who smoke (cancer), for the people who drink alcohol (liver), for the people who cross the street and get hit by a car....
I hope that you get my point. Save them all or save none, otherwise we do not deserve to call ourselves human.
That was exactly my point. The government got involved in paying for social security and health care. Whatever. The government decided smoking was causing a lot of health care expense so "let's ban it." If the government (read taxpayers) WASN'T paying for the healthcare, then it wouldn't be in the business of legislating unhealthy behaviors.
Where have you been? Not only was Terry Schaivo allowed to die, she was actively deprived of food and water. Tell me, what makes Terry less important than an AIDS sufferer?
