rather than what znu originally posted - that the guy will be dead soon, so give him solace while he's still around? -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 07:28 15
- both have a right to solace. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:29 14
  - I agree - but Dawson isn't saying 'respect the feelings of both', he's saying 'decide who you support in this case' - Roger More Feb 19, 07:31 13

        then the movie is biased toward the nonreligious guy. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:40

        oh sure - but for me, with a gun-to-my-head-pick-one choice, I'll always pick the patient over the visiting family -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 07:43
      - I move the person who has less pain. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:36
    - I support compromise. the premise (all or nothing) is false. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:31 3
      - Then we're not discussing the same thing - Guigue Feb 19, 07:34 1
        
        the person who asked the question doesn't speak to me. :) -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:37
      - I support compromise too, but I am happy to play along with the hypothetical -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 07:34
