I am wholly against "society" or doctors making my choices for me and my loved ones. Especially when money is their motivating factor.

..and the viability of a trauma CPR is still close to 0% (hard to circulate blood when they've exanguinated)....doesn't mean we shouldn't try.....how many Airlift NW flights (at huge costs) result in the inevitable death of the patient (and sometimes of the crew and chopper)?

..and CPR is "sometimes" effective as long as drugs and electricity (defib) is employed...it is not "often" successful, but it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be attempted. Even though it allocates resources and money to what most likely will result in a "failed" attempt.

I worked as a firefighter/EMT/Rescue diver for years and have seen first hand the futility involved in the endeavor but never witnessed a fellow first responder act as the final judge. The only time that scenario would come into play would be a triage of a mass casualty incident....and then that would fall on the shoulders of the medical incident commander...a job nobody ever wants.

Rationing of care and with holding care should be left to miserable f.ckin countries with a socialist agenda....
