    I am bored today sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    Controversy time!


    I have been watching stuff about Conjoined twins. It literally costs millions to separate them and it is not always successful.
    Many times we bring them from other countries and then give all the medical care away free. WHY? There are countless Americans who could use the free healthcare.
    We give away care to fix deformed babies and children from all over the world but our own must jump through medical hoops to get the care they need.
    I’d rather see the father of four who is putting off back surgery because he can’t afford to take the time off – get a freebie. Or the mother of three, who has to work, has government assisted healthcare and needs to work, but also needs her gallbladder removed – I want her to get the help….

    Hey and What about natural selection? Many would not live into their teens but we spend millions trying to change the inevitable….yet we compassionately put our “beyond all hopes to get better” pets to sleep…..

    Opinions? Thoughts?

    hmm... true they may have a shorter life but perhaps it comes down the the quality of life as being separate from their twin.
