It’s repeatedly said that this should be between the parent and the physician, and no one else, but it isn’t the parent’s choice to make. You don’t get to decide whether someone’s life is worth living or not. You don’t get to decide that it’s better to murder people than let to let them live.

Perfectly stated!

I’d like to mercy kill everyone who’s ever been on the Jerry Springer show for starters...Then move on to the other day time talk shows.

40 years ago, we were “crazy” when we said accepting abortion would lead to euthanasia.

[Salvation]

Evidently the parent and the doctor have no idea of the Commandments!

Why is that?

“Thou shalt not kill.”

Give the audience one side of the story and you can brainwash them, just like that one.

This is how the MSM operates.

Dr. Phil has gone over to the dark side.

According to recent liberal commentators, one of the worst disabilities in the US today is having dark skin, being descended from slaves, uneducated and delinquent. So far, though, liberals have limited their “mercy killing” of such individuals to those not yet born.

But while liberals are strongly opposed to executing such individuals who have been incarcerated, as punishment for heinous crimes, perhaps they will be more accepting of the notion that, since they are going to be detained for the rest of their natural lives, it “just makes sense” that they be “mercy killed”.

[hinckley buzzard]

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.

[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.
