[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think in an ideal world doctors could give their all to everyone. The reality is they are understaffed, very overworked and many are burned out. Since they are not superhuman, would you rather a doctor give more attention to a mother or father with children at home, one of whom may have special needs or medical issues or emotional struggles or put all their energy into giving your elderly parent a few more months?

DP, but obviously my parents are more important to me than some random stranger’s kids. Let’s not start moving eugenics-ward, shall we?[/quote]

Sure, but you’re kind of shitty if you’d rather your elderly parents have 3 more years of life than a 20 year old have another 50-60.[/quote]

You are a ghoul. [/quote]

No, I'm a pragmatist. I get that you love your parents; I love mine. But if care has to be rationed, and my 81 year old father is up against it with someone less than half his age, I couldn't in good conscience make an argument for my father to get the care. And frankly, my father would agree. After all, he's the one who raised me and inculcated my values. [/quote]
