YOU were the one who brought up the bioethecist debate, not me! And the subject is RIGHT ON target with health care proposals currently being considered.

Triage is a FUNDAMENTAL part of this. A bioethicist will not decide, by themself, who does or doesn't get treatment. They offer opinions, which are BOUND to be controversial. It is up to the "nurses", "society", "states" or the perhaps the Federal Government to make the final call. But SOMEONE has to do it.

By deciding that they should be no public option YOU are making that decision for thousands of people, good or bad, thats the way it is.

No apology due nor offered.

It would SEEM that YOU fail to grasp triage treatment in the larger context. It could be anything from who goes next in the waiting room of a hosptial, to determining who gets care at a physical plant explosion, multiple car accident or a group of Micronesians waiting for dialysis. If you think bioethicist's are BS, then make the call yourself, you don't need them, or anybody, to offer their insight.
