“Has money really altered the value of life as you say? Or has it just changed the need for the different decisions?”
the latter. Though it isnt just money. There is a staffing shortage a bed shortage. A comatose patient in an ICU is litteraly taking a bed that can go to somebody else. I am not saying “somebody else who needs it more” but without the Torah as a guide (and even in select cases with it) it is a bed that can better serve somebody else.
uniq: Feivel and Syag are 100% correct in that you have allowed modern Western thought corrupt your values away from Torah values.
The comatose patient can die without the bed. How is that “a bed that can better serve somebody else”?
You are saying that the comatose patient’s life is less valuable than the non-comatose patient.
