There is a difference Hildy between folks who have simply run out of time and those who are much younger but have electrical problems.

What does that mean? Really? So, let's say...people under a certain age, we'll say, 50, should be kept alive no matter what and people over 50 should die? I really don't know what you're trying to say.

It hasn't as much to do with age as with response to this treatment. Those who don't respond have probably run out of time, at least insofar as medical science has progressed. Those who do respond obviously have some time left. They are contributing to medicine when they tell the doctors what was going on when they couldn't communicate. And they can make known what they do or do not want done to prolong their lives. How is this a bad thing?

As to the price tag, when did disabled people become less valuable than violent criminals who crowd the prisons?

That's three times with the same strawman and I haven't even gotten to post yet...
