Quote: Yed "Where do we go though with this ?
People with hereditary diseases having kids can't have treatment because their parents knew they'd pass on said disease ?'"
thank you, that's the point i was trying to make, next stop eugenics. the goverment introduced the N.I.C.E guidlines to try and decide who should get treatment and introduced cost as a measurement, it is begining to fall flat on it's face because no one person is more deserving than another when it boils down to it. health care should not be driven by market forces, it should be diven by need.
just because cancer drugs are expensive does not mean they should not be available.
the question is where do you draw the line?
if you get lung cancer from smoking----- no treatment
get cancer from working down the pit/ with asbestos----treatment
both lifestyle choices!
