Nope....that's not what I'm saying.It’s not about being simple minded. It’s about trying to clarify what you’re saying. If you spent less time hurling insults, you could probably spend more time trying to be clear in what you’re saying.
So let’s clarify again:
Are you saying any child who requires medical intervention to live, that you are alright with them being neglected and allowed to die?
Nope....that's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying that there would be cases (one in a billion is the ratio that I used earlier) where the child should be allowed to die.
Just as with the 3 month old on life support after a car accident. (the scenario I gave to which you never responded)
You never addressed the scenario I presented earlier. Anxious to hear.
Here is another one.
A 3 month old is involved in a car accident. The baby is brain dead and paralyzed and all medical opinion is that he will never be able to live without life support. Should the parents (and doctors) have the right to make the decision to remove the infant from life support? If so, is that murder?
So if machines can keep a person "alive", then not using machines to keep the person alive is murder? Some sever implications to that point of view. Not the least of which would be the fact that you would be accusing me of playing a significant role in murdering both my father and father-in-law.Doctors should not have any rights to make those decisions in your scenario. The doctor can present his/her opinion but ultimately, in your scenario, it’s completely up to the parents.
And is it murder? Yes.

Agree 100% Rs are just so weak they always look to fold. The stuff the top 3 state officials are accused of and no action taken is wild. You know damn well if this were Rs CNN/MSNBC/NYT etc.. would be reminding their lunatic viewers of these accusations hourly. They weathered the storm and everyone has forgot about it3/8/2019 and not a peep out of the media about this.
See Reps...when the heat gets turned up just ignore it. Wait a few days until another outrage takes the place of your offensive action.
I'm not sure that it does, but I would guess to keep nutters from screaming murder and trying to prosecute an already devastated parent.
