cwctr is towing IP's Prius, that is loaded with alpacas, like a livestock trailer. Yeah, neat to see a different team alignment.

Nah. It recognizes that a malfeasor need not be treated the same way as a healthcare system trying to do the best it can with limited resources. You guys always get wrapped up in this red herring.[/quote]Nope, can't have it both ways.[/quote]

Yes you can. It's currently murder to kill a fetus in a mother, but that mother could choose to abort the fetus. World still spins.[/quote]

That's incredibly inconsistent and not really moral.[/quote]

I’m OK with it.

you guys have blown so FAR off the topic, in this case taking the kid to Italy will not save him, per the article (all the info any of us has) the kid will not live long no matter what they do to him. Should they have kept Barbara Bush's body alive? forced her to have care? The kid IN THIS EXACT CASE is not going to be cured of anything and his brain (per the article) is already badly damaged to the point he cannot and will never function as a normal kid. There is a difference between mental issues and the brain is not functioning at all in some parts of it. Humans need a brain to function to live[/quote]
Barbara Bush is/was an adult capable of making those decisions for herself, which i presume she did. The little kid in the UK isn't. That responsibility falls to his parents. They made a decision. The bureaucracy overturned it. Big difference.

I'm trying to figure out a scenario where you guys might break up. What if....Pit Bull's kid is in a prison infirmary and a cop's spouse is the doctor who cuts off the machines keeping pit bull Jr alive?
