ok, i think this is a pretty valid point -- and reading it made me think. The truth is that in our society money does buy health care and that doesn't sit well with me. also, our society does need to work a little harder on accepting aging and death, sometimes it's time to go, no matter how old you are or how much money you have or how many people love you. i'm still hugely pro organ donation but the argument against the rich having better access to available organs made me think in a way that the "what if a criminal gets my liver?!?!" argument never did... probably because it seems more likely.
