No way. That would be brutalic especially since lots of things can bring you cancer like the sun, cigarettes, etc. Also how would you prove that it was or was not hereditary?

I think medical attention should be given to all cancer patients regardless if you smoked or tanned for too long or even inhaled some carcinogens.

I think everyone deserves medical attention regardless of the situation and the details of essential medical attention. I know it seems unfair to allow medical attention for everyone when everyone can't pay it or in this debate it is being highlighted that it is the fault of the person. If the person can pay for it, then yes they should have to pay for it, but if they can't I don't think we should just disallow it to them. This is why I think a good health care system may be necessary, I know other countries do it and the people don't have that big of a problem with it so why can't we? The health care system we have right now is not high quality sure, but it could be. We are a civilization, and thus we should act like, just like an adult should act like an adult. Does it seem civilized to allow poor people, or maybe in the moment stupid people to just die, when something can be done? no it doesn't to me. Sure maybe we haven't figured out the fairest way to go about it, but we should go about letting everyone have medical attention when they really need it. With smoking however, we can't determine the sole and primary cause of any form of cancer being that of smoking, and the truth is we are all going to need medical attention because of our own decisions. We don't eat healthy, do extremely obese people deserve any medical attention? Should we not try to help them at all? Of course we should, though perhaps when something does get that out of hand then they should be required to work on themselves and fix their problem, I do think that is agreeable.

I think everyone deserves the chance to live if anyone gets cancer they should get treatment no matter who they are or whether they caused it. Just because someone brought the cancer in themselves doesn't mean that they shouldn't have the chance to get rid of it.

I will say false if only to avoid setting a precedent to be applied to other medical conditions. It would be like opening a Pandora's box. Those who really didn't bring it on themselves would be refused treatment on principle, and we'd all go back to the dark ages in the medical field.

Perhaps some of the crazier ones would start blaming sin or some such for people's conditions and therefore refuse medical treatment to certain religious groups. I wouldn't know.

With medicine, you either treat them all equally, or not at all.

Most of the diseases and flues we get are because we did something wrong.

If you have a heartattack it is usually because you overexercise, your cholesterol is too high or stuff like that.

Most diseases could be prevented if you did something different.

Healthcare is a right. .
