It's very wierd, but in my investigation into advance directives after the atrocity of Terri's murder, I discovered there is a segment of liberal Catholics who are not opposed to denying food and water to the disabled. It's appalling and evil.

You know, there are quite a few people who think it is equally evil to force a body to keep functioning after the person occupying it is long gone.

I witnessed my father-in-law being starved and dehydrated to death at the Stonehill Franciscan Services retirement facility in Dubuque, Iowa. Effectively, that is, given that it owns and operates Stonehill, the dear old man, may he rest in peace, was Shiavted BY the Church.

A substantial segment sad to say. They probably outnumber those who think it is wrong.
