Thank you for your diligence in getting the word out about Dr. Carson. He appears so caring and many good Christian people have been taken in by him—these quotes portray an altogether different mindset and a disregard for the sanctity of life, and the value of the last days of life...When my mother was dying of cancer after a two year fight I was struck with the realization that it was HER battle. I had no right to ask God, “Why now?” “Let her stay”, or even “Take her quickly”. The walk toward the “valley of the shadow of death” was hers, not mine, and not any physician’s. It was the most difficult yet the most sacred time I’ve ever experienced. Doctor Carson speaking so callously about end of life issues shows his true character, and it’s not good.
Thanks for your comments and your personal experience with this issue. Life is precious and should not be treated in the callous manner that Carson’s views depict.
