Letters: Whose life is 'expendable,' anyway?
THE FINAL paragraph of Christine Flowers' heartfelt, moving and well-deserved celebration of the life of Dr. John Pryor begins with this sentence: "Some lives are expendable," and continues, referring to Dr. Pryor, "This one was not."
Of course, Dr. Pryor's life was not "expendable." But precisely whose life is "expendable"? By what criteria is that judgment made? Who makes the judgment?
