I am curious about something. Suppose a person is so ill or disabled that he/she cannot take care of him/herself, and is totally dependent on others for such daily necessities as food. Suppose that no one in particular wants to feed this person, or clean him/her after bowel movements, etc. Without food or water, this person will go into a coma and die. In fact, this person may already be in a coma. Does someone, say me, have the right to force someone else, say you, to either take care of this person or pony up some cash to pay another to care for this person?

Excuse me for jumping into the middle of this discussion, but how are you defining life? Does someone who is brain dead have the same rights as someone who is totally paralyzed but sentient?
