Yep. The looks on the faces of the committee members were pure disgust. Everybody in the hearing room was disgusted to learn. The hospitals had nobody there to testify against the bill. The practice is indefensible. The application of utilitarianism usually is. So indefensible that the elite public policymakers will only articulate justification for utilitarian-driven decisions behind closed doors, among friends, other "experts" who have to make the "difficult choices" unburdened by the emotional, unsophisticated sentiments of the proles. Who could never understand or appreciate what a "greater good" entails. And so, the bill was killed behind closed doors, without a public vote.
Well, that's a new and disgusting revelation!
