Do we continue to save people who are willingly putting drugs into their bodies and overdosing? That is the question one city has been struggling with for a while, and they are making a decision as to whether they should let the overdosing “victim” die after the third time being saved.

I'm against anything like this.  Like it or not, addiction is in fact a disease and should be treated accordingly.  You don't just "ignore" the problem, you treat it and address it.

Think of it this way.  If someone that is a heavy smoker and drinker goes into cardiac arrest 3 times to you let that person die as well?  What about someone who is overweight?

One of my favorite quotes is on Ronald Reagan's grave.  It reads as follows.

"I know in my heart that man is good.  That what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life".

You don't let someone die just because you don't like their lifestyle or life choices.
