jackInvestor's Business Weekly: "People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless."
Daily Mail: That would be an excellent point, except that it turns out Stephen Hawking is English. And actually was treated by the NHS.
Many other newspapers made the same points, but I was enchanted to find myself agreeing with the daily mail I had to link to them. The investor.com article now contains a retraction about Hawking not being English (although they don't feel it invalidates their main point).
