Emilio Gonzales...

....................................

AUSTIN, Texas (CNN) -- When Emilio Gonzales lies in his mother's arms, sometimes he'll make a facial expression that his mother says is a smile.

But the nurse who's standing right next to her thinks he's grimacing in pain.

Which one it is -- an expression of happiness or of suffering -- is a crucial point in an ethical debate that has pitted the mother of a dying child against a children's hospital, and medical ethicists against each other. ( )

But Gonzales says her son is on heavy doses of morphine and not in pain. She said her son does react to her. "I put my finger in his hand, and I'm talking to him, and he'll squeeze it," she says. "Then he'll open his eyes and look at me."

Gonzales said she'll continue to fight for treatment for her son. "I love my kid so much, I have to fight for him," she said. "That's your job -- you fight for your son or your daughter. You don't let nobody push you around or make decisions for you."

Texas Futile Care catching the heat, still. May the ghouls hiding behind this law run screaming to obscurity as this law goes down in flames, as the resident trolls and libs have run screaming right here on FreeRepublic!

Austin, TX (LifeNews.com) -- Sensing that opposition to the state's futile care law is growing, medical groups in Texas are hoping for a compromise on a bill that would revise it. The law, which allows medical facilities to give families just 10 days to find care for a loved one, has come under intense criticism for hurting patients.

Under the statute, medical facilities can determine that a patient is too far gone to receive further care and they can tell families that they will stop lifesaving medical treatment in 10 days.

I presume Michael Schiavo and all of his minions are rushing to her aid. After all, his cover for killing his wife was that nobody should interfere with his private decision for his ward.

Someday, if the Left does its work, all crimes will become legal under the liberty and privacy rights discovered in the penumbra of emanations of the Constitution. The perfect criminal excuse will be, "The victim wanted it this way." Criminals will be made to swear to this in court and that will take care of it. "Oh, yes, sir, the little girl was eager to be raped and murdered. She told me so." "Case dismissed."
