I have a thought about the Terri Schindler case that I think some will find interesting.
How ironic is it that her maiden name is "Schindler"? As in Schindler's list?
I don't think that anybody here will consider it a secret that the holocaust didn't start with jewish people. The Aryan race was a quest to create the perfect race. It started with the sick and elderly. Those who were deemed unworthy.
"why would these people want to live this way. We should show compassion, and have mercy upon them"
Yes, I know this is not an exact quote, but anybody can search google for nazi euthanasia and see what I mean. I find it rather chilling that nobody has made this comparison given the current state of the news. Is Greer a Nazi? How about Mr Schiavo? No, I'm not making that case, or even hinting at that. If you have that idea, remove it from thought. I'm not trying to point the finger at any one man, but rather at a specific situation that is starting all over again.
We've all heard the saying "history repeats itself". Well, we've come full circle to mercy killings. What's the next step? Where will this slippery slope end? We know where it ended last time. Is that were we want to be? Anybody I've mentioned this comparison to that knows the history has agreed with me. I wonder if you guys will to. I think you will.
In this case "unworthy" has been spun into "mercy", and it shouldn't be.
Comments?
"It started with the sick and elderly. Those who were deemed unworthy."
You make a good point. Who'll be next? Maybe bible-believing Christians. The antichrist ACLU would love to ban the bible as hate-speech.
I know I do. As to who will be next, I don't know. That's if there is a "next". But apparently there are mercy killings going on in certain parts of europe as well.(you'd think of all people they would know better)

What we do know is that history repeats itself. That is undeniable. How it repeats itself this time, I honestly don't want to find out.
I hope somebody with a national audience such as a rush or a glenn beck or o'reilly..... somebody, anybody would talk about this.
