[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1033556, member: 72205"] Complicated question, the simple argument is everyone is 'worth' saving. However the NHS quite clearly and demonstrably withdraws care levels for a variety of reasons. One of these (I've heared directly) is given the surgery/resuscitation the person would not live a 'signifcant' amount of time afterwards as well a greatly diminished quality. Having watched someone die over the course of a month when all but palliative care has been withdrawn which must be what happened to Prince Phillip its honestly pretty horrible to witness so I can't imagine it being much worse. The question for me isn't about worth its about whether that level of care would of been given to anyone else using taxpayers money. How do you justify allowing it for Phillip who probably got a few weeks at best but you won't allow it for Joe Bloggs Granddad down the road which is what happens. [/QUOTE]
