Medicine Without Mercy

Are doctors developing a relentless and ruthless determination to make certain that patients die sooner than they necessarily would have as a means of saving "finite" medical resources and holding down cost, and are physicians being taught a perversion of ethics that cheapens and devalues the individual human being, reducing life to the cold calculation of a cost-benefit analysis? With individual worth and the very value of life already under assault, will the coming "Obama Care" mean life prolonging treatment will be denied ever faster, making America's most common cause of death medical personnel taking away that which would allow the patient to live?
