Hildy, it is OK to break the law in order to save a life.
Have you forgotten Holocaust history? Did you ever see "Schindler's List"? Was it OK for Schindler to break German law to save Jewish lives?
Be sensible.
Many people broke laws to help slaves flee to safety and freedom, too. There are times when the laws are not just or moral, and must be broken--and eventually, hopefully, changed. I hope we never ever again have to sit by while a woman is starved to death.
Or, maybe this is the Democrats' plan to save social security--just starve to death anyone over 50; problem solved.
