It does seem a very strange society we live in.

On one side we seem to have a bottomless pit of money to fund wars and to care for suspected terrorists and prisoners who would like to end the democracy they are enjoying in our country, and on the other hand medical treatment becomes a bit of a lottery.

Euthanasia is ilegal, yet as others have posted the withdrawl of food and water of a terminally ill patient that would like to continue treatment, seems more cruel.

I'm not religous, so instead of God l'll replace Him/Her with an Alien. If an Alien looked down on this planet, what on Earth [literally] would they think? We have the intelligence to cure diseases and prolong life, yet choose to use our intelligence to kill each other in silly little war games instead.
