I am extremely disappointed in George Bush here. I feel he let us all down. He must know this is ridiculous. The amount of money spent in this country on hopeless cases (running the entire gamut from the very very premature births to the very ancient) is just an astronomical waste of resources. Throwing all this money away accomplishes nothing except to prolong suffering.

This should be a matter between the patient (if able to participate), the nearest kin, and the physician. Lawyers, judges, politicians, and the public should not be involved. It is none of their business.

What should be done is have two physicians certify that a case is hopeless. Then have it pass through an ethics committee. Nothing more. We must end this absurd madness.
