Does an actual doctor believe that too?
We don't have infinite resources to spend on treatment that won't actually help.
This is a slop article. No actual info on success chances, prior treatments etc.
OH SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR "FINITE" RESOURCES BULLSHIT. The DOCTOR recommended the treatment. The only barrier to having more time with their loved one wasn't knowledge, or skill, or reSoUCEes... It was money, a FAKE thing WE invented. You know what IS a finite resource FUCKING TIME. Our priorities as a society are so absolutely bonkers. We could have given that family more of an actual unrenewable gift that can never be replaced, restored, or generated and instead we STOLE that from them to give more of an invented thing of fictious value to the elites. Elites that have so much of it already they could never conceivable spend it.
No matter how much you scream, it will still be true. You can't yell and curse it away.
Money is finite, even if we made it up. Everyone can't have everything.
Your argument rests upon the inaccurate assumption that because things are what they are, that it is inevitable that they will stay the same.
