lunatics running asylum.

Those with disabilities will be next, but guess who has the greatest disability in the eyes of the liberal immoralist? The Christian.

[Hot Tabasco]

Also invited on the show? Attorney Geoffrey Feiger

This guy is the epitome of scumbag, ambulance chasing, slimeball attorneys........

Here in the metro Detoit area he constantly has ads running on the local news programs.......especially during "Black History Month"........

[rfreedom4u]

Isn’t liberalism a mental disability?

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Yet at the same time, they are quite happy with faux-Christians, those who aren’t so Bible, faith, family, morality, sexuality, and who have core values-oriented.

You know, who call themselves Christian, but also worship Ba’al (Moloch), Mammon, and whatever other gods is trendy this week.

Sanfillipo syndrome is very rare, affecting between one in 50,000 to one in 150,000 births. The patients seldom live beyond teens or early twenties.

The continuing tension is whether to honor the sanctity of life or the convenience of caregivers. This woman has essentially abandoned her child.

By contrast, I know a woman who had a profoundly retarded son, kept him at home and took care of him his entire life well into his twenties. She never faltered, never complained.

The only thing she ever asked of others was that they collect store coupons for adult diapers so she could save a little money. Her faith was her rock. She was not intellectually sophisticated, would not have even comprehended this article.

All she knew was she loved her son and that was enough. I'd like to think some day that I was as good a person as this simple sweet woman. I doubt I'll make it though.

I had a bright student who was severely handicapped. He needed a special desk, and his mother would bring him to class and stay with him because he could not handle a wheelchair. He had an incredibly positive outlook and enjoyed life and was an inspiration for others. A couple years later he died, having lived longer than expected. He is missed by his family, others who were in the class with him and by me. I just wish I could have done more for him. To say that someones life is not worth living is outrageous.

[Fred Hayek]

A friend of mine is a major league immunology researcher at a major university. She has been blind from birth (5% vision in her right eye, nothing in the left eye), and her mother had the gall to tell her that if it was Germany in the 1930’s, she would take her to one of the special hospitals to be “taken care of” (”euthanised”). So this person who was written off winds up getting her PhD in microbiology, some of her research papers before she got her PhD cited internationally, and is now on the research faculty (some interesting papers on the workings and vulnerabilities of cancer cells in peer review).
Needless to say, my friend is very much pro life. She asks the question “Who have we thrown away?” Einstein. Beethoven. Steven Hawking.
She is also one heck of a speed skater.

The most disturbing part of all? Dr. Phil offered a weak rebuttal to her argument, but he still went on calling this an act of mercy to her children. He then polled the audience to see how many of them agreed with this mother. Almost every single member of the audience did.

One doesn't have to wonder how the nazis committed their crimes in public. A bit of propaganda is all it takes to sway the dolts in this audience. They can't think for themselves. They're waiting for a dictator to tell them what to think.

[chimera]

Once again history repeats itself. These are exactly, precisely, almost word-for-word the same "arguments" made in the Nazi Aktion T4 program. Read up on it yourself and see if you don't find the words hauntingly and frighteningly familiar. The blood of 10+million dead is crying out from the soils of Europe.

"60,000 Reichsmarks is what this person suffering from a hereditary defect costs the People's community during his lifetime. Fellow citizen, that is your money too. Read '[A] New People', the monthly magazine of the Bureau for Race Politics of the NSDAP."

[Clintonfatigued]

It's like the article says, it leads to a slippery slope. In parts of Europe, euthanasia was supposed to only end suffering for people who were already dying and wanted put an end to it and now doctors are being instructed to kill patients without knowing what the patients want. One can only imagine what it will lead to if it goes unchecked.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Where’s the link?

[SaraJohnson]

They will get this “right” to kill the severely handicapped and progress on to the old and simply unwanted. It’s the natural progression of “logic” uninformed by a soul. Humanism has no ethical and moral limits. A humanist state with centralized power is a killing machine.

[wagglebee]

It looks like I forgot the post the link, I just alerted the mods.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

People generally approve of the abortion of Down’s Syndrome infants, so they’ve already accepted the premise that handicapped children are better off dead.

This is the logical conclusion.

[Sopater]

There is a poll on Dr. Phil’s website.

And I say that we should start with anyone who watches the Dr. Phil Show ...

[ArrogantBustard]

Lebens unwertes leben ...

Whats the difference between the Democrat Party and the National Socialist German Workers' Party?

[Eagles6]

What makes these people think they have the right to decide whether their child gets to live or die?

Roe v Wade of course./ sarc

[floriduh voter]

Not him or Oprah though. Hands off the elite.
