Imagine I have a fatal, but treatable, illness. The treatment costs more than I could personally afford. Due to my financial situation I can't afford any health insurance.

In which, if any, of the following cases do I deserve to die:

  • 1) I was a hard working citizen but due to no fault of my own I lost my job and am currently looking for work but unable to find any.
  • 2) I am a child born into a poor family.
  • 3) I have never worked due to laziness.
  • 4) I did have a job but got fired for a valid reason. Due to my employment history, I am unable to find another job.
  • 5) I committed a criminal offence and was sent to prison. I am now out of prison and can't find work due to my criminal record.

Deserve to die? None.

I think you mean, which of the above justifies coercing others to help you and again the answer is "none".

This thread started as an appeal to emotion. Then the premise was entirely destroyed by this reply.
