Steve, I don't advocate letting people die needlessly, or suffer unnecessarily. However, how far out of our way should we go to protect people from themselves. I did read the rest....and you are very generous. [Its hard not to be sarcastic.] ;~)) I mean if Michael J. Fox is sick and seeks medical attention and has the resources to: (a) find it (b) pay for it (c) understand it Oh, so then its okay if he pays for it but if does not, then put him out to pasture. Michael J. Fox is not one of the important people who has contributed mightily to our culture but he has made countless people laugh. And to turn our backs on him when he is down is not only cruel but arrogant.....arrogant in that you think you are in the position to play God, deciding who lives and who dies. Then we aren't 'protecting' him, and he is clearly one of the fitter. Its not charity or protecting them as you put it, Steve, its taking care of our own when he/she is down..... most mammals do that for their own....why should we be any different. ted
