When everyone gets something, then there is going to be less for those who are in the system now. <br /><br />I think this is what a lot of the shouting is about at those healthcare reform meetings. <br /><br />Some day we won't have end of life discussions because we will be past offering futile care. But who's going to decide what is futile care?<br /> <br />Karen Wiederaenders, MLS <br />Director of Library Services <br />Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas CityPractical Bioethicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111101925898726995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263920188140464269.post-49779447284328332562009-08-28T09:42:21.749-07:002009-08-28T09:42:21.749-07:00From Rose Mary Boyd

What about water pollution for humans and for animals?<br /><br />Interesting …<br /><br />Rose Mary Boyd<br />St. Francis Health Center<br />Topeka, KSPractical Bioethicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111101925898726995noreply@blogger.com
