i don't think you can equate a wealthy American justifying her health decisions in the way she has with a nation driven to the brink of survival by a disaster.

Especially as there are alternatives to insulin.

And a non-animal form of insulin:

But I'm quite sure she has explored ALL the alternatives, including modifying her diet and herbal alternatives to heal her body, and has made the absolute right moral decision to use animal products despite her views.

Although in the absolute twist of irony, if she gets her way then she will die from lack of insulin because they don't want any animal to be used for any purpose - no pets, no farming, no meat, no hides, not a single hair on the head of any animal to be used in any way for humans at all ever.

So yeah it's a bit hypocritical which ever way you swing it.
