I also do not believe in euthanasia, the active taking of a human life for the purpose of death...I worked in hospital and many people choose to sign a NO CODE that is their right as a human being...I have in my Durable Power of attorney for health care, a NO CODE part....I do not believe that is euthanasia, it is the persons choice...Some believe that you save life at all cost, no matter what the person desires...That is as dictatorial as "death panels" in the Obama plan for us citizens..only on the extreme opposite of the continuum..I am anti Abortion but not on those very rare occasions when the mothers life it at stake...

The last time I got on one of these absolute moral )whatever) it was about a 9 year old child in Brazil (?) who had an abortion. She was the victim of incest and pregnant with twins..The doctors told the mother she would not survive the carry of twins and delivery at her age and weight....Those same people on this thread Wagglebee etc. found that the mother and doctor were murders for giving this 9 year old an abortion...That's when I decided I am not fringe pro-life, I am anti abortion, and even the Catholic church makes room for such cases....

These people on the absolute moral ping sound at times like no true Christian I have ever known... I apologize to you personally if you are not one of them.

If you are one of them.....thats not my problem....Have a great week-end.....

If you are going to use my name in an accusatory way you could at least have the decency to ping me.

I MIGHT have pinged one of the threads on the Brazilian girl, but to the best of my knowledge I NEVER made any comments on it.

even the Catholic church makes room for such cases....

ONLY when the mother's life is at stake.

[Cicero]

I recall the case but not all the details.

Hard to say. The Catholic Church would support an abortion if it was absolutely clear that the alternative was for the mother and both babies to die.

I don’t know if that was the case or not. Giving birth by a nine year old isn’t easy, obviously but it has been done. It seems possible to me, although obviously I don’t have the medical expertise, that the child could have had a caesarian and the babies, although premature, might have been saved and then given for adoption.

The instances where an abortion is truly necessary to save the life of a mother are much rarer than the abortion supporters would like us to think.

Show me where this happened. I just did a search for threads related to this story, and though I found some people who said the pregnancy should have gone forward, I didn't see anyone who was as adamant about it as you claim.

Some believe that you save life at all cost, no matter what the person desires...

A strawman argument. There are so few people who see medical ethics that way that they could have their meetings in a phone booth, and I've never come across one on FR.
