Prayers for you.
Lucky she wasn’t in a more enlightened country where active euthanasia is practiced.
I could tell you need something very important. My prayers seem to really help those I pray for, as long as it’s not for myself. I hope you do get your special wish.
I am praying for you and for all those lovely Freepers who offered to pray for you. %
Death by starvation and dehydration is imposed in all fifty states.
Last time I checked, there were five states that allow doctors to distribute a lethal drug overdose.
Cognitively disabled people are at very high risk for medical killing.
The term “active euthanasia” is generally used to refer to certain methods of medical killing, but make no mistake, doctors are actively killing patients they deem to be useless eaters, and it’s all perfectly legal.
I agree that actively seeking euthanasia is bad the questions still remains.
When is using extraordinary means like feeding tubes ect to keep some one “alive” is too much.
All people die at some point.
I hope if the time comes for me and I have a choice I can be strong enough to say no thanks it is my time.
For Christians dead is but the next step to meet our lord and savior.
Food and water are not extraordinary means.
Dead bodies are not being killed. They are living humans. If they were dead, there would be no controversy. There’s no reason to put quotation marks around the fact that they are alive. Your disapproval of the quality of their life, and their right to life, cannot change the fact that they are alive.
For Christians, God is recognized as the Arbiter of life and death. It is not for us to judge the sick and disabled unworthy of life. It is not for us decide when and how to end an innocent person’s life. It is our place to comfort them, not kill them.
I don’t know Sheila but I’ll gladly add you to my prayer list. I hope God answers your prayers. Just remember, it’s in His time frame which isn’t always the same as ours.
FReepers are really something, aren’t they? Many of them know how to pray — that’s why I turn to them for help.
Yes. Such Godly love for others is beautiful to see. Blessings to you.
Prayers up here, 353FMG. Trust in the Lord, and lean not on your own understanding. Our pain is only a shadow of the coming glory. Someday we shall meet Him face to face, and there will be no more suffering. May He bless you and grant your petition.
God keep you
Thank you. I hope He will.
Thinking of you, and praying that you are well.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate your prayers.
