So I believe the following is true:

1. The costs of the procedures involved are wildly inflated by the private sector healthcare system we employ. 2. Regardless of 1 the effort involved in keeping the child alive was extraordinary. 3. The effort involved was disproportionate to the benefit to society.

It's unlikely the reader will agree with 3. That's ok. But I would ask anyone who disagrees with 3 to think carefully about if there is a line where the effort to save a child's life is too great, and if that line exists, how would you determine where it is, and given that method where is that line for you?
