Jahi, we talked about this a lot if I remember correctly

Who gets to decide whether or not a treatment is too expensive or the prognosis isn’t good enough to make the treatment worth the cost? It’s easy to make those arguments for extreme cases, but apply that to cancer treatments and other medical interventions. We already know from the concierge medicine thread that there’s a premium standard of medical care available to those who can pay that’s not available to low income families – and people are okay with that – so you’ll have to excuse me if I don’t trust the average taxpayer to determine what treatments are medically necessary or worth the cost.

Given that we know that people without financial resources have difficulty obtaining proper medical care now, it seems even more obscene to allocate the huge financial resources incumbent with keeping the heart of a brain dead person beating while denying living, breathing, thinking human beings care that could actually improve their health and quality of life.
