My interpretation of Bill's remarks is that there really isn't anything new being said by those of us who've already stated our opinions.

You don't think the twins themselves played the most crucial role, but it was the doctors who agreed to do a risky operation, and they wrong.

Quite a few folks here think it centers more on Ladan and Laleh and their wishes.

I feel that when doctors or anyone else assumes the role of making decisions for patients, that is playing God. Patients in the US (I don't know about elsewhere) can request a "do not resuscitate" order. If not for one of these orders, my mother might have lived a few more days, months, or possibly years, but she would have been trapped in a life she didn't want to live. I would have liked her to be around longer but it was HER choice to make, not mine and thankfully not the doctors'. I would have needed an enormous ego and a controlling nature to think I could steal that decision from her. I don't know what I would have needed to steal the decision from a couple of women I'd never even met.
