The gut-wrenching dilemma will be deciding whom to let die. Now, an influential group of physicians has drafted a grimly specific list of recommendations for which patients wouldn't be treated. They include the very elderly, seriously hurt trauma victims, severely burned patients and those with severe dementia. The

When you live from a disease that should have killed you, your genes are passed to your children and this does not help the population as a whole if Im

Disability diabetes : If we're created in such a direct and definite way, what is the point of a complex system of DNA and genetics, and why are we able to manipulate it? Why are there birth defects; why are people born with disabilities or illnesses? If they're a "Job"-type test of faith, why are we able to treat many of them, and is it going against god's will to do so? Where does medical science fit in at all-- isn't it essentially playing god to elongate someone's lifespan with something that is manipulated

Disability diabetes : For years most insurance coverages have treated mental heath care different than other types of heath care. The copays are usually 80/20 for a person who deals with an ailment like diabetes. The copay for someone who has clinical depression is usually 50/50. I would believe the 1994 American with Disabilities Act would prohibit this. Obviously not and it seems this is standard practice in the insurance industry. Since each are medical conditions with a mortality risk, how can they (insurance)
