re: #9 Pie-onist Overlord

G.W.Bush made it legal in his first few days in office. Medical personal cannot be forced to treat someone if it is against their belief. I live in the US and in the last 10 years I have had 2 “doctors” tell me to my face that I was not worth treating because I was given up for adoption at birth. One is still teaching at University of Kansas Medical Center The grad student at the KU clinic was trying to figure out why my sprained ankle wasn’t responding to treatment and was told not to bother as I didn’t have a soul and wasn’t worth bothering with…the grad student was horrified. No one checked to x-ray, 2 broken bones. (I can’t seem to get through dragging it up today but it’s not an isolated case for me.) Apparently the Hippocratic Oath has been optional for quite a while. Israel doctors used to be known for giving everyone, even the enemy, the absolute best treatment available as they consider all life sacred. Apparently not any more. I watched Tour de France on a European channel and the Israel Tourism was running an ad with children playing on a beach and a very pregnant woman floating on the water with the voice over “come to Israel and create life”. While declaring war on Gaza. (IMO neither side is right or has the right and need to sit down and shut up. But I am old enough to remember almost all of the incursions.) I’m going to go watch kittens on the Internet.
