She has cancer, is on the state insurance plan but they won't pay for the chemo drug... They'll pay for 'comfort' drugs so she can basically die comfortably. Nice. So, is this what we are in for? If you are too much of a burden on the state then the state tells you to take some happy pills and go to sleep. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Here's a different case involving prostate cancer: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,392962,00.html
The guy doesn't have insurance and the state won't pay for chemo, but they'll pay for assisted-suicide. This is what happens when you devalue life. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
