Another Terri murder. The Denver Post allowed to chronicle this disabled boy's starvation murder as long as they didn't publish until the killing was over!! Brought to you by the state that began the abortion holocaust - the Death State - Colorado.

Heartbreaking. If there is a way to determine for sure that this child was in the pain he appeared to have been in by the description, I believe he should have been allowed to die but not in this way. Prolonging the dying process by 24 days seems meaningless given the ultimate result was assured.

If there were ever a case for an assisted death, this was it.

I am so conflicted by this.

I thank God I do not have to deal with this predicament. To me there is no question they loved their son, and still do. Did they make a wise choice or a sinful one? a spiritual or secular choice? A willful death, but is this murder? Obviously they valued his life, and human life in general as witnessed by their struggle. But was this 'right' in any light of God's truth? I lack the wisdom to know. Does this open a 'pandora's box even further? Absolutely. We are not God.

Don't flame me, please.

1 Cor 10:13 offers me guidance -- that there is no choice in life I will face that requires me to sin -- but not yet resolution.

Wow. Points to ponder, Wisdom to gain.

So you vote for torturing the poor child as long as possible.

Honestly, I'd rather someone put me to sleep before they let me starve to death.

God forbid any of us go through this and have to make a similar decision. They had the decency to do it at home in private instead of making a media spectical. Tough personal choice.

Isn't the starvation murder of a disabled child beautiful? This story was so heartwarming, all the child killers surrounding the child in his angelic death throes. As I said with Terry Schiavo, why not just put a gun to the base of his skull and put a bullet in him? It would have been far more quick and humane but quite a bit more messy and it would have denied the killers the ability to pretend that they were doing anything different than murdering the boy.

My daughter died of Cancer at 3 months. I held her in my lap and said to her "It's OK Sadie if you need to go". We could have continued to keep trying different treatments but the writing was on the wall. We choose to stop the treatments, but continued to medicate her (Morphine) and feed her (Breast Milk and formula). My heart goes out to these parents, and as it's been said in some posts don't criticize until you have walked in their shoes. I hope no one reading this ever walks in mine. The worst 10 days of my life was the 10 days after we decided to stop treatment and waited for Sadie to die. We are now childless and even though it happened 7 years ago, I think of her everyday. On the other hand, we did what we thought was right, and I can sleep at night without second guessing what we decided to do.

Having met with Pastors Conn and Ware of Victory Church, I am currently persuaded that Pastor Buddy does not support starving the disabled and was not aware of the parent's decision to end Dylan's life, as the story implied.

In attempting to get clarification from Kevin Simpson, he
said he stands by his story.

I look forward to a complete repudiation of the notion
that the role of "faith" encouraged the family in their determination
that it was appropriate to starve Dylan for 24 days, unto death.
