Which was a pretty lame response since most of these facilities have things called "walk in freezers".
I find it interesting that (and forgive me for touching on a personal subject, but it was brought up) one could have so much conviction on this point but have not put this coinviction into action with a family member. What, one fears the reprisals of the state?!?! It's "family" for goodness sake, if one really believed that what was good for the goose is good for the gander, they would have snuck in there and introduced an air embolism, some KCl, etc to hasten this end (unless the person having those convictions were underage, in which case they shouldn't be involved with it at all).
It's like all the folks I've talked to who support abortion but "would NEVER have one themselves". They would actively assist in jeapardizing the soul of another, and for some reason think they wouldn't get called on this when that big day comes. It's kind of funny when you think of it.
It's like metaphysical NIMBY to these folks. Or they believe God is really actually a dumb God in a Barney Fife goodness sort of way and sneaky little semantic obfuscations will just slide right by him. Boy, are they in for a potential surprise...
I wouldn't call it "lame" on those grounds. It was clinically corrrect. It is unethical to leave people to the elements or stuff them in freezers in order to cause their death. But shelter is a medical "basic necessity," just as food and feeding is.

LOL. Great lines.
Chin up, He is in charge.
Axenolith, I have been thinking NIMBY all this week...and you put it to words in a way that I couldn't.
