It's the same argument the socialists make as to whether or not a 95 year old with cancer should receive treatment or the 20 year old with cancer should. These socialists seem to somehow imagine that, just because they claim healthcare is a right, that suddenly the resources and trained personnel to deliver the healthcare magically appear.
In that case, of course the 20 year old should receive the treatment. Does that mean the 95 year old is worth less? Or he has less value? No. but it does confront the reality that, even were he to survive treatment, he would get a couple of years at most to live, whereas the 20 year old has his entire life ahead of him. |
