Thread Name: BS: To Pull Or Not To Pull The Plug
Subject: RE: BS: To Pull Or Not To Pull The Plug
I think it is problematic to tell people of any certain belief they will have to foot the bill in cases such as this, esp. if they do not have the means. It smacks of the wealthier having more say in their own lives, while the poor suffer whatever is available. What of an elderly person who has been poor all of their lives and may not have anyone to help with bills? Are we not to try to honour their beliefs? We can take over in cases of abuse and foot the bill, but not for the poor who are trying to do the right thing, by their belief system? There is something illogical about that which bothers me.
