My 93 year old grandmother lives with my parents.
Just think how easy it would be to... she forgets things a lot... people have to clean up after her... she costs us money and time...
If we only had a "doctor" who could LEGALLY give us something to put in grandmas's orange juice. Then we could all get on with our lives.

This is not something that could happen in the future. It is happening in our country now.
It is WE who have fallen.
I had a conversation with the daughter of a Jewish doctor who escaped Germany in 1937. She was apalled by the fact that all of her family who stayed behind in Germany died in the concentration camps. However, when we spoke about Terri Schiavo, she could not understand any connection between what happened to Terri and what happened to her own family. There is no difference between what happened then and what is happening now. I am flabbergasted by the reasoning of such people. If I hear "quality of life" one more time...
