I wouldn't consider that murder. There are system's out there to aid people who can't afford medical treatment, but it's abused so much that it hurts the people who really need the treatment. For example, about 3 years ago, I took a friend of mine to the emergency room b/c he got bit by a rattlesnake. Okay, I remember one guy in there getting free treatment for a toothache, a ridiculous thing to be in the ER for. He had a brand new cell phone, talking on it the whole time he was there, and I noticed when he left, he got into a brand new Mercedes. If he can't afford medical treatment, how could he afford a Mercedes. It's people like that that abuse the system and make it to where medical treatment has to be denied to some....

I don't consider the heart and lung machine thing to be murder either. Abortion and stem cell ends a new life that hasn't had a chance yet. Taking someone off of life support is freeing that person so they won't suffer anymore. This is a touchy subject and this is my opinion on it.
