Why would you think it's appropriate to comment if you're just guessing? This is not a question where random guessing is appropriate.
Your reasoning is correct in that we do eat brains, and of course they don't get us high.
You're wrong is the fact that brain is mostly fat. That's incredibly misleading. The brain is entirely nervous tissue plus supporting things like vessels. It does contain lots of myelin which serves to insulate axons, since nervous tissue is electrical. Myelin happens to contain a lot of fatty acids, but it is in no sense "fat".
Most recently one had a problem with bone loss in its femoral head. It couldn't walk much at all and was getting further injuries because of that. The other ducks would also leave it behind. Being alone is very stressful for a duck.
You can't do a hip replacement on a duck. They wouldn't understand or be able to recover. In any case, she'd easily get picked off by a daytime predator. Eaten alive.
You better believe that euthanasia was the best course of action for her.
Sure. That's not really a death panel though. That's the inefficiency of lots of systems. If you make someone jump through enough hoops, they'll give up. That saves money.
Everyone should know that being around burning things is bad. It's not like the actual food you're cooking is not also putting these things in the air, even on an electric stove..
They don't want to make a product. They say "consumers don't like it". You ask for evidence. They say it's confidential, or they deliberately sabotage the availability of the product and say, "see?"
Healthcare is one of those things that will consume all available resources, and we can't do that.
Consider someone that requires round the clock, individual care. They are consuming the entire economic output of more than three people to care for someone that will have no more. I know there's a lot of communists here, but communism doesn't change that fact.
What if we could keep someone alive for $1M per day? How long should we do it? We shouldn't, and "death panels" are how that needs to be decided.
You can talk about price gouging, but really high end medical care is akin to magic. It takes very smart people to do it, and something like an MRI requires liquid helium to remain superconducting. That's just extremely expensive.
Edit: this place is really weird. So many down votes. No argument against it. Very toxic.
Pasta fagioli for me.
The texture of pasta and beans together is just all wrong.
Anyway, if you make homemade stock, that stock plus anything is delicious soup.
