In this increasing amount of health care rationing climate in which we now live, where doctors decide whether or not a person will live or die based on their “quality of life”, the denial of food and water occurs every single day, across an unknown number of health care facilities. Certainly, none of us will ever know how many “Haleigh’s” out there were never given the opportunity to recover. Not long ago, there was a “do no harm” vow to act in the best interest of the patients, but that has now transformed into doing what’s in the best interest of the hospitals. In short, whatever will financially benefit the hospital.

And with Obama's death panels it will get A LOT worse.

Let's not forget that Mitt Romney would have been personally complicit in Haleigh's murder:

Girl's end-of-life case could haunt Romney (Haleigh Poutre)

A culture is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens. Western culture will be judged harshly.

I will never understand how being starved and dehydrated to death is a death with dignity.

While there is life there is hope. Though I hope I never have to lie in a state of suspended animation. I just can’t help think of the movie, Million Dollar Baby. However, what use is a doctor that would rather fail to try than fail trying?

If I starved and kept my dog from water, I would be labeled the most vial names imagined and rightly so. There is nothing humane about a slow agonizing death

If it is so humane it should be used for capital punishment but instead we have to make their passing “painless and humane”. Screw their victims.

Court-ordered murder

and you know the judge probably felt NO remorse about ordering her death when she woke up

“I would be labeled the most vial names imagined and rightly so.”

Like test tube and mortar?

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

I agree with you 100%. It’s OK to kill babies and supposed brain deads, but skip a meal for your dog and they lock you up.

Mass has not had a wonderful record in taking “care” of children lately.

I have no doubt that they will pressure parents who have a baby with Downs Syndrome or some other abnormality to abort.

Yes, and I think that Deval Patrick’s reign is mostly responsible for that.

Horrible. Despicable.

Thank the Lord that Haleigh's story is being told. She's a living argument for the Murder-The-Disabled-Because-They-Are-Of-No-Use-To-Us crowd to think about.

IIRC, it was her father, the assailant who was one of those
involved in keeping her alive.
