All souls return to heaven, regardless of whether or not they were baptized in a flesh body.
Angle means ‘messenger’, in a spirit body.. some good, some bad and some ugly.
No, I ask God. Anyone who cannot do that, and refuses to see reality, is blind without hope.
At my age, with my medical history, it is a question that comes up often with older friends.
It’s something to think about now, before such decisions are made with diminished physical and/or mental capacity.
That's the dirty little secret.
Too bad they couldn't have traded places.
The Parents should have made that call, not the State.
“What a sad day...first we get Benedict McCain’s betrayal .... essentially pushing the same socialized medicine that killed sweet Charlie.
Beyond depressing.
May Charlie rest in the arms of our Savior.
May all of those who neglected care on him...and countless others (including those who wish 0Care upon this great nation) be dealt with, accordingly.”

Yes. When Sen. McCain first traveled to DC from AZ, I thought it was an amazing, wonderful thing, that he had made the effort to vote with his party and President, even though he is sick.
Now it turns out he made the effort for other reasons entirely.
There is a reason that people travel hundreds or even thousands of miles, sometimes illegally, to get health care in the United States. And yet the left wants to inflict long lines, interminable waiting lists, etc., on people.
My two children were born in Denver. When they got sick, I could call the pediatrician in the morning and have them seen on the same day, with a thing called ... *gasp* ... an appointment!!!
That does not happen up here in Canada. You have to go to the emergency room and wait. I know because I had to take my 18 month-old daughter to one when she had an ear infection; I sat in a waiting room with a crying baby from 10 a.m. until well into the evening.
I only got service after I complained; no one had been called for probably two hours (at least). I went up to the reception and said, in my broken French, “What’s going on? The doctor hasn’t called anybody in a very long time!”
She said, “The doctor is having dinner.”
I said, “This is a hospital! Are you telling me there are no other doctors available??”
Then I turned around to the crowd and said, “Why do you people put up with this treatment? It is ridiculous.” And my French was not that good at the time. People were suffering in that waiting room, but no one said a darn thing.
What do you know...the line started moving and my daughter was seen within 15 minutes of my horrible American outburst.
True, but had I been the parent, I would have let him go.
Charlie's parents felt differently, and those wishes should have been respected.
But you weren’t the parent, period.
Your story is what American’s need to be screaming about, at the tops of our lungs, all across this great nation.
You’ve LIVED the difference between world class healthcare...that you obviously were able to afford...vs....horrid socialized medicine.
I pray that American’s wake up and don’t accept just ‘sitting there and taking it’ like your Canadian citizens did, in that waiting room.
Can you imagine John McCain waiting HOURS, in an ER, with his original symptoms??
Such a perfect analogy....Canadians in socialized waiting room Hell get awakened by an American outburst.
Wake up, America!! It’s about to be too late!
“hospice is euthanasia, in my experience”
That’s the dirty little secret. “

You are right, dfwgator and Ray. When my mother was dying of cancer, she had the room that was the farthest from the nurses’ station; and every time my sister and I visited her, her machines were beeping (either she needed more pain meds or some liquid food).
I later read that they put the more hopeful cases closer to the nurses’ station, so the patients get quicker care. I don’t know if that’s true, but my mother did seem neglected.
My father recently passed away at an assisted living facility. I live far away from where he was living; my sister lived in the same town but was dealing with the death of her 9 year-old son, and going through marital troubles and issues with her first born (both caused by the death of my nephew, IMO). She gave great care to my Dad but was also completely stressed to the maximum.
In former times, families would be together and help each other when our elders’ time had come.
It just seems like we have lost something precious.
Yes, it’s great to travel and live in a new place (I grew up in Chicago but fell in love with CO and moved there in my 20’s). Then my husband and I moved to his native Canada. But it’s also true that in some ways, we’re cutting the “ties that bind.”
It takes a village to raise a child, and a national ‘health’ service to speed him along to his death.
Coming soon to a formerly free nation near you.
I’ll never forget how sickening it was to watch them “celebrate” the NHS during the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony.

LOL!!! Oh my, you’re cracking me up. ;) (not really).
Nope, you’re right. There are two sets of rules. One set for the privileged few and another set for those peons who foot the bills for the privileged few.
America, be careful!!! Do not destroy the greatest health care system on Earth.
Hospitals in the U.S. are well-maintained, clean, with nice furniture, up-to-date equipment, etc. I swear the hospital here looks like something out of the 1950s’. There’s just no money—too many social benefits (”free” all-day daycare, etc.).
And this, even though Canada can afford to neglect its military because the leaders know that if the you-know-what hits the fan, Uncle Sam will be on it like white on rice. Canada will never be attacked because the U.S. will take care of any problems (too close to home).
When I was growing up in Philadelphia, we had a great pediatrician. Back then they were just called family doctors. If a child was sick on a Sunday, he would tell the parents to bring him over, no problem. I remember reading that in his obituary. I had a medical emergency once when I was about nine years old, and he opened his office late in the evening to see me.
Of course, this was fifty years ago and America was a much different place back then. Sad to see what has happened to the practice of medicine, among other things.
RIP Charlie.
Prayers up for his grieving family, in Jesus name.
This is why you do not want Government Health Insurance.. RIP Charlie..
Wonder how many at CNN say ‘Good riddance, Charlie!’..?
I suspect that the American people, at least 65 million of them, will never be able to connect the dots in the Charlie Gard case.
AZ people though are unfazed by either event.
