I looked up imperforate anus, it is when a child is born without an anal opening and a canal has to be surgically made.

It was C. Everett Koop who taught me to respect life and to uphold the sanctity of the unborn. For that I am forever grateful.

Bump.

Perhaps more than the law, I fear the attitude of our profession in sanctioning infanticide and in moving inexorably down the road from abortion to infanticide, to the destruction of a child who is socially embarrassing, to you-name-it...I can well understand that there are people who are led to starve children to death because they think that they are doing something right for society or are following a principle of Hegel that is utilitarian for society.

Bump for a later read.

This "GENES DETERMINE EVERYTHING" phase we are going through is just a regurgitation of the Eugenics movement. It was brought on by Margaret Sanger types. It gave us abortion and it brought Germany concentration camps.

We've read studies that Genes determine homosexuality, spirtuality, and everything in between. We are no longer individuals but products of a gene pool.

While I agree with the message of this article, I have to point out something. to weigh upon the conscience of so many people that, like a Vietnam war, it must grind to a halt. Perhaps we are getting through to liberals?

Thank you for posting this. It is good to remember just how far down the slope we have traveled, and how close to the final solution we are coming to.

Many of my Jewish friends have always said "Never forget!"

But we have forgotten.

I have many times withheld extraordinary measures from the care of my patients who were terminal regardless of their age and have felt that I was doing the moral and the ethical as well as the just thing. I have never, on the other hand, taken a deliberate action to kill a patient whether this deliberate action was the administration of a poison or the withholding of something as ordinary as feeding that would keep him alive.

Something for Mr. Felos, Judge Greer, and their henchmen, to keep in mind.

"J. Engelbert Dunphy, in the annual oration before the Massachusetts Medical Society in 1976, had this to say:

We cannot destroy life. We cannot regard the hydrocephalic child as a non-person and accept the responsibility for disposing of it like a sick animal. If there are those in society who think this step would be good, let them work for a totalitarian form of government where beginning with the infirm and incompetent and ending with the intellectually dissident, non-persons are disposed of day and night by those in power."

They ARE working for exactly that form of government. The NAZIs never went away. Their spirit lives today in America. Planned Parenthood was about eugenics, and it is still for eugenics. The scary thing is that many moderates agree with Greer and Mike Schiavo. At bottom, this is about money-- -- resources. It is about whether euthanasia can be used to limit future government expenditures on health care, as well as insurance company expenditures on health care. It will end up being about rationing and the setting of priorities based on the value of different patients.

Someday they will kill people against their will and it will be no big deal, and taxpayers and insurance rate-payers will be glad because it will hold down their taxes and health insurance rates.

Genesis 2:26

And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27: So God created man in HIS OWN IMAGE, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

40 Million + American human beings created in God's image have been LEGALLY MURDERED since Roe V Wade

40 Million +

And most Americans don't even let this register anymore
we have become so emotionally inured to killing innocent human beings we don't really give it much thought..

God does..and He will not be mocked...

The legalized murder of Terri Schiavo was a test and an opportunity God took to show America how totally depraved it has become

Like ancient Israel before her...America was once a nation who honored God and God therefore honored, protected and let America flourish.

The arrogant say they have raised themselves up by their own hand..and give the Lord over all no credit..

God is mocked in the courtroom, the classroom,the bedrooms and churches of America...

God will not be mocked...one does not have to read very much of the bible to see that demonstrated..

The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom..
