He has muscular dystrophy...
... is very bright... but hard to understand when he speaks now....
..this man, now in his fifties, loves, absolutely loves, life!
He has lots of friends, and a wicked sense of humor.
He needs help now with daily existence, and knows it will only get worse.
But he's in church every Sunday, and says for all to hear...
I would rather be in this wheelchair and know God....than be walking upright and not know God!!
His life is not easy.....but he appreciates life, both for him and the unborn.
I respect life also, and am glad your friend makes the most of his. I know I would absolutely freak out if it happened to me, and feel nauseous just thinking about it. For me it would be absolute torture and I imagine it would be like drowning and unable to get your breath, or tied up in a straight jacket and locked in a closet, I just absolutely could not deal with it. It is a real fear or problem I have. If someone I loved wanted relief, I would totally understand.
This is a very different issue than protecting the unborn, the unborn are not in a torture chamber.
