Death Panels for the win!

And then send the family a bill for the bullet.

Criminals deserve care. Yes. But there has to be a breaking point.

This man ruined children's lives, in which, I don't see why we have to treat him equally as everyone else. Why treat a monster as a human?

Define monster and who gets this care and who doesn't. Is a rapist a monster? How about a person nine years into a ten year sentence for possession with intent to sell? Is he a monster?

Where do you draw the line and who gets to draw it?

Raping is child... it is quite monsterous to me.

Sometime, drawing the line is not to be considered. There are shades of grey in life and we should use our judgement to help out. Not all things have to be black or white. That's where the law fail, IMO.

That's exactly my point. The government always fails when given the opportunity to have some leeway or decision-making power in situations like this. Some might consider that drug dealer to be a "monster" and may have him essentially put to death even though he's going to be free in a year or two. Others might show compassion for that monster rapist and let him have the surgery.

Again, who gets to make this call and why do you think that giving the government the right to make this decision will work in THIS situation when they almost universally fail in all others?

Remember that this is the same system that, through the use of guidelines and rules, often rewards  murderers with lower sentences than repeat drug violations.

Indeed... the main failing of government.

Though a needed failing really, otherwise there would be even more rampant "cronyism."

It's like those judges just recently, who were found guilty of taking bribes from private prisons to "steer" certain prisoners towards them and others away.
