The "Donor Party" comes to mind in terms of a Bioethicist, what would be the right thing to do? Also that soccer team plane crash in the mountains where the survivors gave permission to the others to eat them when they passed away. Repulsive? Of course, subjects that are best not discussed in public.

Comments like a "BS answer" are often the result. People are generally to ignorant or to easily offended to think about such disturbing "what if's". Triage decisions extend well beyond a hospital emergency room.

...healthcare should be generally be denied to the elderly...
You could also add to the young, those less than 15.

Of course the comment is taken out of context. The term "generally" is very miss leading, so if you want to hang BS labels, that quote is a good place to start!

Anthony, clearly you don't have any experience with triage decisions, there made everyday in every hospital emergency room.
