Teen with Months to Live Denied Heart Over "History of Non-Compliance"

knock off that bs you're a scientist. That shit is totally biological when a parent saves its offspring. Their children represent their own immortality, their way of surviving to the next generation so they protect it at all costs. Damn near all mammals behave the same way,

 

Coming from a man with no children...

Come back to me when you have your first baby, love.

 

I fail to see how you are making a point of how precious a life is when you are making the opposite point that just because someone is not of age that their life is less worthy.

 

BULLSHIT! It has nothing to do with some distorted attempt at surviving to the next generation! It's about ensuring your child has the opportunity at life, just as you did.

 

so I do believe you have given the answer to why the kid should survive over the old person. to keep the species going.

 

And the reason you care is biological. Its not conscious its instinctive like birds flying south for winter. Please watch the clip I posted just for you kid

 

No that's the reason a parent does, society as a whole spends to much time worshiping kids. There are 7 billion of us the species is fine and barring an insane natural disaster we ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

 

No my point is both lives are precious but one shouldn't be overlooked simply based on age. Like I said first come first serve or based on the severity of the illness age shouldn't be factored in. We can't help when we get sick and shouldn't have to lose our lives based on it.

 

I got about 2 minutes in and couldn't take it anymore. I'm not a fan of his anyways, and his message wasn't sitting well with me. Sorry Charlie.

I've told you a hundred times before, I think you'll change some of your views when/if you have kids. Your views are based on your experiences...as those change, some of your arguments might shift also.

 

I have nephews and nieces as well as little cousins who I love and my argument still remains. Kids are not an entity to be worshiped and protected above all else. Its instinctive to protect your own I get that but I don't agree with this ridiculous notion that kids should always come first. Like I said my life matters and shouldn't be diminished because I'm not 5 and cute.

 

The parent can have many reasons such as what I stated. I wouldn't save my kid.

If we are going the biology here, then the kid is worth more because he or she can produce offspring. Species are heavenly dependent on reproduction.

Society doesn't spend too much time worshiping kids. Look at congress. Every senior citizen has a health care plan. You can't say the same about children. That's the reality. The great shame of this nation is you got a 50 60 something year old woman who wanted to spend 38000 dollars on a purse in a nation where child hunger and homelessness still exists.

but of course you say we worship kids. Kids can't vote. That's why they are often dead last with the help.

 

Are you kidding? Kids are entitled to food shelter education and healthcare. What country are you living in fam?

 

You are mixing it. The whole argument is you have one heart and you can give it to one person. Sometimes, things like this happen. If you want to say well, we have two hearts lets save both. ok lets do that. But hearts are not easy to come by.

 

The majority of people in poverty are not seniors. They tend to be children and women. This lack of care for children is starting to be an ongoing thing with you.

 

You miss my point I don't hate kids I just think EVERYONE is precious and deserves to live. This idea that adults are some how more suited for suffering is bs. Why is my life any less important or worthy of saving opposed to someone who is 8? Because I've lived longer I should be just willing to give up my life?

 

You are making this odd. Are you posing a question of if I can save one over the other which do I save or can I save both?

 

the former

 

so let me ask you a question.
If you and an 80 year old man can only survive? You are the only one who can pick? who would you pick and why?


keep in mind you just said life is precious and blah blah blah.

 

Thats my life vs someone elses clearly I'd pick myself because to me my life is precious.

 

so is that the reason why you just valued your life over the 80 year old? isn't his or her life worthy or precious?
