1:33:15
Good, good.
1:33:23
Good. Thanks for calling.
1:33:32
You've put me in a difficult position.
1:33:36
lt seems you know everything.
1:33:43
You're George.
1:33:45
l wonder if you can understand...
1:33:48
...if you can take the long view...
1:33:53
...the view of a person in my position.
1:34:00
You did it?
1:34:02
No decision is easy.
1:34:05
lt only looks that way
when you're young.

1:34:08
When you're older...
1:34:11
...everything is complicated.
1:34:14
There is no black and white.
1:34:16
Only gray.
1:34:20
But our society faces
momentous decisions.

1:34:23
Decisions about the right to die...
1:34:26
...about abortion,
about terminal illness...

1:34:29
...prolonged coma, transplantation.
1:34:32
Decisions about life and death.
1:34:35
But society isn't deciding.
1:34:37
Congress isn't deciding.
The courts aren't deciding.

1:34:40
Religion isn't deciding. Why?
1:34:43
Because society is leaving it
up to us, the experts.

1:34:47
The doctors.
1:34:50
You're crazy.
1:34:51
Americans spend $ 1 25 billion
a year on health.

1:34:55
More than defense.
1:34:57
Because Americans believe
in medical care.
