My argument here refers to fertilized egg in terms of relative value to human being existing outside the womb. The elderly don't fit the parameters within what I am arguing. However, and this is on a different line, a time might come, if healthcare costs keep skytocketing where hard decisions have to be made in terms of "extension of life" care, a cost-benefit analysis in terms of treatment as opposed to quality of life/productivity for the patient. I'm not saying this is an optimum outcome...but it is possible.

You've got to be kidding me cave. You seem to slowly be going down a path that I just don't understand. to actually think it would be okay just to let people die to save money?

So as far as I see it from you its

Let the old and sick die if it comes to that to save money
Yet no death penalty and we will spend tons of money on incarciration.
Unrestricted abortions, if someone is 8 months 29 days pregnant, they can have an abortion.
Marital rights for homosexuals, which is an unnatural act and a disease.

Whats next? Make pedophilia legal, 10 year olds little girls marrying old men?
You could make the same argument for sicko peds, as you could for homosexuals.
What about incest? you could make the same argument for incest as well.
A line has to be drawn, and it is drawn at a man and a woman who meet the proper qualifications. Thats it, get over it.
