I agree with a lot of what yo...Thanks for the post. I agree with a lot of what you say, and certainly with all the sentiments expressed.<br />However...<br />We live in a society that has agreed to spend a certain amount of money on healthcare for the entire nation. There is a finite amount of money in the pot. When it's gone, it's gone.<br />Would you agree that the money spent on the 23-weekers who die anyway is a waste? If so, shouldn't that money be used to pay for treatments needed by others?<br />It seems bizarre to me that we spend so much money on these babies if they are out of the womb, but a baby of the same gestation in the womb can be killed without the same degree of moral outrage... it's all about perspective.<br />Jonathan White<br />(still trying to find a cure for breast cancer)Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725763862667552131noreply@blogger.com
