less-than-pure motives

Always hard to see someones else's true motives. That is for God to determine.

What is hemlock?

[TWohlford]

It is not sanctioned?

My uncle's parkinson's disease progressed to a point where he couldn't swallow. His powers of speech and mobility were long-gone too. He made it clear that he didn't want the feeding tube, and equally clear that he understood the consequences. He was gone in a few days.

Was that suicide?

And who do Hemlock Society people vote for and support ? demoRATS !

[syriacus]

What is so sad about a person terminally ill having some say about how and when they will check out?

What methods of "checking out" are you talking about?

[fatima]

No.

[Salvation]

**the mainstream press is not talking about these connections.**

Well, they should be.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Why do you give them sole credit for this.

Because they did it.

[TWohlford]

" Always hard to see someones else's true motives. That is for God to determine."

Actually, the failure here was in the court's inability to determine the motives. IN fact, very few effective mechanisms are available at any level to check such motives.

[TWohlford]

"No".

Well, if my uncle didn't commit suicide by refusing the feeding tube, would he have committed suicide if he would've purposely injected an overdose of prescription drugs? or jumped out of a window?

I envy people who can find bright, clear lines in these matters, because I cannot.

George Felos and Scientology

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

There is absolutely nothing to indicate that Newt Gingrich belongs to the Church of Scientlogy. Nothing. And I've looked.

If I'm wrong, I'd appreciate a link of some sort.

I'm sure freepers will/can clue you in to Scientology much more than I can.

But here's a nutshell: Scientology was invented by a science fiction writer, L.Ron Hubbard, as a kind of experiment. He wrote the first book as a kind of science fiction, people believed in it, and the whole thing was born. Hubbard considered Aleister Crowley (sp?) his mentor. Crowley was a homosexual pedoophile Satan worshipping black magic practicing warlock (male witch). I'm not kidding.

Scientology is atheistic, believes in no God or Supreme Being, and the whole goal is to achieve personal power so as to control others. There is no mercy, love, kindness or anything similar in their philosophy. They use people, take peoples' money, indoctrinate them in horrible ways, and even kill them.

It is evil through and through.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

The power to "Kill with a Thought" (which Felos claims to have in his book) comes only from acheiving OT Level VIII status in the Church of Scientology.

Did he have feeding tube,I pray and post with you and look for answers.TWohlford

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Said Hubbard's son in an interview:
"I believed in Satanism. There was no other religion in the house! Scientology and black magic. What a lot of people don't realize is that Scientology is black magic that is just spread out over a long time period. To perform black magic generally takes a few hours or, at most, a few weeks. But in Scientology it's stretched out over a lifetime, and so you don't see it. Black magic is the inner core of Scientology --and it is probably the only part of Scientology that really works. Also, you've got to realize that my father did not worship Satan. He thought he was Satan. He was one with Satan."

What is hemlock?

A poisonous plant, used in ancient Greece to impose capital punishment.

[antceecee]

Not the same thing...Your Uncle personally refused a feeding tube because he could not swallow. He was able to express his wishes. Terri was not. Terri also was able to swallow her saliva. This means that Terri would have been a good candidate for feeding by mouth. She was denied rehabilitative therapies.
What happened to Terri was assisted suicide at best, murder at the worst... I think that many of us are judging this case by our own sad experience and not the true merits of the case.
I am sorry for the loss of your Uncle, God bless....

It's empathy for your fellow man.

If you don't get it now, maybe you will when its you on the other end of the feeding tube.
