    unforgivable, money shall save your life now adays not the goodness in someones heart, i doubt its like the show ER or anything, the patients are just another slab of meat that shoots ,money if you fix it. at least on the manegment level. so how do you fix a chicken that does not lay eggs for her daily feed...the AX, its a shame how easy it is to compare people to animals now a days, and to look at the polotitions and rich as the farmers with an ax and a milk pail...

    Ending someone's life because they can't pay the bills is murder. (If that is actually why it happened.)

    Ending someone's life out of compassion is reasonable and necessary. Been there done that. The sanctity of life is just that, but the cold, hard necessity of death, at times, sits aside that sanctity and is inseparable from it.

    Welcome to the human condition.
