Canadian Death Panel Decides Baby Should Die, Canadian Court Agrees
All American Blogger ^ | 2=18-11 | Duane Lester

Posted on 02/18/2011 7:27:10 AM PST by Bodhi1

How many liberals have clamored for the humanity of the Canadian Health Care system? I think it's safe to say that at one time, a majority of the have advocated for a single payer system.

One of the problems with single payer is the government can decide to stop paying because some "death panel" declared the patient's life not worth the money required to keep them alive.

For example, a panel in Canada's health care system has decided to remove a baby from life support, despite the parents protestations. The parents when to court. The court found in favor of the government.

So now, rather than die at home, with loved ones surrounding him, baby Joseph Maraachli will die at the hospital, at the hands of the Canadian health care system:

The father and relatives of one-year-old Joseph Maraachli wept outside a London courthouse after an emotional Justice Helen Rady upheld the earlier decision of an independent provincial tribunal forcing the baby's parents to comply with doctors' orders.

With all of their legal avenues exhausted, the family will have to say goodbye to Joseph Monday morning — on Family Day — when his breathing tube will be removed.

"I do my best for my baby. My son is not a criminal . . . to just let him die," dad Moe Maraachli said through tears.

"They are taking my baby away from me . . . Where is the humanity?"

The term “Christian Democrat” is a oxymoron. 50+ years ago was a different story/

This is a good prayer for anybody that wants to become a Christian.

Jesus please come into my life, forgive me for my sins, thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for my sins, I turn to you Lord from my sin through faith in Christ Jesus. Thank You Lord for saving me

A prayer along those lines will do just nicely! If its sincere from the heart.

It`s important to tell someone after you pray such a prayer!

Salvation is a free undeserved gift, not of works lest any man should boast. But we are also told to go and sin no more.

So voting for abortions and the things that are against the Lord, have to go. It`s called repentance.

Churches that teach that it`s OK to support abortion/gay marriage etc, are dead Churches. They are all wasting their time, they might just as well eat drink and be merry.

God Bless you

Sorry, I was just doing a view of your pasts posts. You dont like Rush, you dont like Palin, you are pro choice/pro abortion (no difference btw) You are constantly telling people they are full of crap etc

And yet you are terribly offended the moment someone says anything the least bit unkind about a Democrat.

was a slow night...wish you well nonetheless, I hope you find peace

I don’t know about charities, but an article I pinged out a day or two about this child stated that the parents just wanted a tracheotomy performed so they could take him home and have him die in peace at home. Apparently the baby will die without the breathing tube, no doubt about it, and the parents just wanted him to die peacefully at home with them, not in a hospital with strangers and machinery all around.

The platform of the Dem party is pro-homo, pro-abortion, and pro-socialist which is by very definition atheist. Dems are busily trying to destroy every vestige of the Constitutional freedoms of speech, religion and association, for starters.

I am a Hindu and I also say that Dems are Evil because their goals and methods are Evil and they are trying to make a hell on earth.

Then what is it pal? Why you are so sensitive about any democrat bashing? And what`s with calling out the Lord God? Anybody that says GD obviously does not have the Spirit of God within them, and yes you are very rude to soo so many people.

You are pro life now? But you want to support a candidate that says leave the Social issues alone? Give me a break

And what`s with the bashing of Sarah Palin

Good for you LJ

I have always said that, a person does not have to be Christian to know these things are wrong. Sometimes people make excuses for non Christians that support the evils of Abortion/homosexuality, they will say they are blinded by their unbelief etc, as if it`s some type of explanation.

My other friend here makes the argument that people are not responsible for their choices, it`s only politics he says...and I roll my eyes.
