[Florida Mama]

Thank you for sharing this article. We have been asked many times to allow our daughter to "go into Gods arms"... everytime I am amazed that they cant see the life in this little girl.

We were asked to terminate before she was born, we were asked to sign DNR papers before my emergency C~section (which, i was advised not to have "why do you want to have a surgery done to your body for a child who will most likely die right at or soon after birth, dont put yourself thru that".) We were advice atleast 5 times over the next 14 days to turn the ventilator off... she is a beuatifully handicapped little two year old now.

I could not imagine my life without her, I Could not imagine being the schindlers right now watching their child die before there eyes.

Being the caregiver of a handicapped individual is alot of work, it is a daily obligation, for the rest of their lives. Emmas schedule is overwhelming, by my love for her, and her joy for life outweigh any burden her medical care might be on our family. As I have said in posts in the past "My head told me to let her go, My heart is why she is alive today"...I trust my heart on this issue.

As parents we are put here to protect our children, to help them, nourish them, support them. Can you imagine how helpless they must feel right now? The very thing a mother is called to do is being denied by a court order. You would have to bury me along with my child.

Thank you again for sharing this article, the importance of this situation has long been overlooked. Soon legalized murder is going to come knocking at the door of our handicapped children, and a court order will be in place to back it up.

Blessings to all those who are the voice for the voiceless.

It is a concern. We have several disabled children and we are looking at leaving the country in the next few years...

But in the meantime I am going to try to KICK these death-groupies in the butt as often as I can and as hard as I can..

Tracy Latimer, the little Canadian girl referred to in the article. She had cerebral palsy and was gassed to death by her father Robert Latimer in 1993.

Robert Latimer murdered Tracy while her mother was at church.

Robert Latimer was convicted by a jury of second degree murder, but SURPRISE -- a Canadian JUDGE tried to apply a "constitutional exemption" and let Latimer off.

The Canadian Supreme Court in a rare moment of sanity reinstated Latimer's 25 year sentence.
