P.S.

Hitler was kind to children and dogs.

Does that give Hitler the license to have been responsible for killing an estimated 40 million people, including the disabled, holocaust and the wars??

See my point?

Even if you put in a living will that you want to starve to death, it's suicide. Nourishment is not extraordinary means; it is ordinary means. Why is Dr. Kervorkian in jail?

Not only that, but you just might change your mind:

The Will to Live
When Marjorie Nighbert entered a nursing home after having a stroke, she did not expect to be starved to death, but that is what happened when she became a victim of her own "wishes."

Like many people, she did not want her life to be prolonged when death was imminent. So Nighbert created a durable power of attorney (DPA), in which she gave her brother control over medical decisions in case she could not make them for herself. And according to the family lawyer, Nighbert said she did not want a feeding tube if she became terminally ill.

When Nighbert fell ill the nursing home followed the orders of the DPA and denied her food and water for two weeks. But then something unexpected happened: She asked to be fed. A court battle ensued, and the court ultimately upheld the nursing home's decision to deny Nighbert food and water. According to the judge, Nighbert was not competent to ask for food, and to give her food would constitute "extraordinary means."

Nighbert died on April 6, 1995.

It is no coincidence that the left seems to value animals more than people. When I call the death merchants nazis, I'm not invoking Godwins Law, I'm stating a FACT that I believe in my heart to be true. They Are Little nazis, and they will turn the lights off in Amerika if they are allowed.

Well, I would prefer not to make Hitler comparisons as there have been far too many both here and during the election. Anyway, as I have said before, I am hardly a Soros fan, but if the $45 million grants were for legitimate purposes as stated, that is, for better care and comfort in hospices, then I applaud it. If not, well....
