So what should the Seals have done if Osama were getting a dialysis treatment?

[undeterred]

You know, let him finish and help him onto the ship? :shrug:

[customerserviceguy]

1. I'm all in favor of shooting up the machine

It would have let him die slower that way.

[yawnmaster]

2. what if he were on the toilet - what would they have done? eom

[Codeine]

3. They should have hypotheticaled him to death.

:eyes:

[H2O Man]

4. Realized that

they had the wrong man.

[Bunny]

5. They should have fixed him a nice cup of tea.

That's the answer you're looking for, right? :shrug:

[undeterred]

6. I would have asked him how he lasted this long without a transplant.

Although I'm not sure we have a common language or an interpreter.

[99 Percent Sure]

7. Huh? There's no evidence that he suffered

from renal failure and therefore he wasn't on dialysis. Oh and there's no such thing as a portable dialysis machine.

I thought everyone knew this already.

[undeterred]

10. I didn't know till a week ago.

I thought he died of kidney failure a long time ago.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Yes, yes there is, imperfect as hell

and not used i the US or advanced economies... it is called Peritoneal dialysis. All you need, as portable as it gets, is an IV pole, which is easily improvised... the bag with the liquid, and... the tubing.

In places like oh Pakistan... I am betting you see some of this as well.

Not saying that this was what he received or not. Just that to think there is no portable "machine," well there is. Now if you talk of HEMODYALISIS machines the gold standard... they are a tad bulky and take about four hours.

You want an even less effective system that requires NO MACHINES? Intestinal dialysis. Of course an end stage renal failure patient and this don't translate to long life either.

8. Put Drano in the machine?

Yes, I"M AN EVIL AMERICAN who supports a dead bin Laden.

[Raine]

9. Pulled the plug on it

perhaps. :shrug:

[IamK]

11. left him on the machine and kicked him to death....

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Ok if you want to play the what if game?

THey have medics with the seals. Disconnecting him from the machine and taking him into custody is not that hard to do. Hell, all it takes is thirty seconds.
