If they can't hand you off to a more appropriate center, then as far as I'm concerned they are committing manslaughter, and they should be prosecuted as such. If they are capable of handing you off but refuse to do so, then it's murder.

However, I don't see that this is something we can resolve through the NANOG mailing list.
