Assume this is true. The NHS is in the UK and run by the government. The NHS has a maximum spend on a single person.
The UK is part of Western Civilization. Therefore it rests on the assumption that life has infinite value. Therefore, the UK will spend infinite money to ensure a person lives.
A contradiction.
- TomMarius 7y agoOK, that's the UK, I'm not sure why it split off; thank you for pointing it out. Any continental EU country will spend an unlimited amount of money to save someone. Even Ukraine will. Get your shit in the UK back together, I'd suggest. Suggesting a maximal spend in my country would immediately lead to a revolt and change of government.
- Firadeoclus 7y agoWhile there may be no explicit limit there are practical limits on what will be done to help a single person. Unlimited is not the same as infinite.
