I'd love for somebody from the NHS to explain that to the parents of the little girl in our village who died of cancer because the NHS wouldn't/couldn't pay for the treatment.Transsexuality is recognised as a medical condition, and the NHS pays for transgender operations.

Sums this country up.
What a very "Sun" thing to say
Are you suggesting that the NHS should pay for transgender operations when it can't afford to pay for the treatment of a young girl with cancer?
Unfortunately we don't all get in life what we initially had hoped for in life. I wanted to be a TV cameraman, I'm not, but I cope. Some people want things and are limited by their abilities.It depends on the circumstances, but there are some cases where it would be justified.
The sex change thing could have turned a suicidal person into someone who contributes to society. The cancer thing may have just prolonged the suffering of someone who would die soon even with treatment.
I would....

If I were to be offered the choice of becoming a TV cameraman but the budget would have to come out of a mixed pot which could potentially mean that a sick child might die, I'd like to think I'd turn down the opportunity no matter how much upset it was causing me
What you are talking about, Jeff, are "coulds" and "ifs". In this case your example is wrong as there was life saving treatment available, but only in the USA. I don't like to dwell on this case as it's just one of thousands.
All the above you have just mentioned have genuine medical illnesses or addictions.Is it fair that someone who smokes and gets cancer gets treated over a young child? Is it fair that drug addicts get substances to help them try and kick the habit over a young child? Should a 80 year who has cancer get treated instead of a young child?
The list could go on all night

Maybe I'm not as clever as you lot, maybe I just see things too simply.
