Does it matter I answered your question now that I hit you with a formative one you cannot or will not answer? Its a simple question if it were your child or spouse that required the million $ treatment would you let them die or not?

All I needed was a yes or no which you for some reason refuse to do, rather you prefer to skirt around the question with more questions. It's a hypothetical question just man up and answer yes or no or just move on.
