Should a felon who is receiving life in prison be allowed to recieve life saving treatment?

Question

Whether it's spur of the moment such as a heart attack or stroke, or long term as chemotherapy for cancer treaments. Is it like giving them a death sentence if we don't or is it okay because they're a criminal?

Answer

Absolutely. They deserve life saving treatment just like anyone else.

Answer

Unless they sign a DNR legally medical staff has to help. Besides some criminals are in prison for stupid stuff like selling marijuana. Should they be ignored?

Answer

Their still human..

Answer

If they have a heart attack sure, get stabbed and need help sure, get sick and need meds sure. 
Cancer treatment, I'm gonna say no. Regular blood transfusions or dialysis.. no. I think it's just wasted resources, that they wouldn't be paying for! There's hard working people who can't afford treatment who abide by the law... why should a murder who is serving a life sentence have that type of treatment just cause?

Answer

Yes. No cruel or unusual punishment. Denying someone treatment just because they are in jail, is cruel punishment. I'd for sure wonder where someone's morals are if they just let them die

Answer

Just because someone behaved badly doesn't mean you should be cruel to them. Of course they deserve treatment.

Answer

Wow you sound like a great person

Answer

Not for cancer treatment. I don't see the point of using tax payers money to prolong the life of someone who's serving a life sentence.

Answer

my daughters dad is in prison right now.  He's been hospitalized a lot before actually going to jail and prison so he's been hospitalized during prison time as well and I believe he does deserve life treatment. Still human

Answer

I understand they're still human, but if they're in there for life... What's the point of trying to prolong their life? 😐 I know it sounds terrible, just wondering. Now if someone is only in there for 5-10 or even 15 years then yes by all means.
