As an atheist, I see the hand of the religious pro-lifers contributing to the problem you so forcefully describe.
Bob, I respectfully disagree. No 'hand' of pro-lifers (for the unborn, the very young, or the old) or any other conspiracy. Ken and I are 59 and 61 years old and have seen a lot in our medical careers. I have never ever had a end-of-life decision presented to me by a family as a religious choice, only a personal choice (and damn the government - keep them out of it, except, wait, Medicare pays for this stuff , and ....what is ObamaCare gonna do?). The only thing closest to it might be a Jehova Witness/other and whether or not they will take blood or be an organ donor/recipient.
Perhaps we would be stick plainly to the thoughts in Ken's original post.
