The news comes within hours of Italian media confirming that Eluana Englaro, known as Italy’s Terri Schiavo, was to be moved this week to a clinic that is willing to participate in her killing by removing her feeding and hydration tube.

Maurizio Sacconi, Italy’s Minister of Labour, Health and Social Policies, told a press conference that it is “illegal” for health care facilities funded by the government to remove the food and hydration of vulnerable patients with the intention of killing them. He referred to Article 25 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that says to stop feeding and hydration is discrimination against disabled people.

Father God, we pray you will confound the enemy
and keep this dear woman safe from harm.

Put a hedge of protection around her and make it impossible
for those trying to kill her to carry out their evil plans.

We praise you and thank you for her caregivers who see the
infinite value of Eluana as we know you do.

Jesus be with her !!
