That condition could sometimes strengthen arguments to withdraw life support, because such patients can feel pain, some medical ethicists said.

In essence: The more conscious she becomes, the more important it is that she be killed....

Unbelievable. Ghastly.

she may have moved into a ''minimally conscious state," in which patients are aware of their surroundings and can respond to commands.

Sounds like many of my coworkers...

Some neurologists say Haleigh's actions suggest she may have moved into a ''minimally conscious state," in which patients are aware of their surroundings and can respond to commands. That condition could sometimes strengthen arguments to withdraw life support, . . .

If she gets up and walks around, the death-lovers will probably think up an even more creative reason to kill her.

The pro-death movement finds its gospel in everything.

'Girl with brain damage sent to rehab center'

It was that, or law school.

...a ''minimally conscious state," in which patients are aware of their surroundings and can respond to commands.

Responding to commands by picking something up is a minimally conscious state?!?! So just because she doesn't talk, they should still pull the plug? Then let's just kill everybody who isn't perfect or if they don't react in a way we approve of. Sheesh.

Thank you for the head's up!


He said a DSS social worker accompanied him, and she said, ''Haleigh, this is Harry."

''Give him the yellow duck," the social worker said, according to Spence's recollection.

Haleigh picked up the yellow duck, he said.

''Where's Curious George?" the social worker asked Haleigh.

Haleigh then picked up the stuffed animal, Spence said.

''It's an astounding case," he said.


Just yesterday, I was told on this very forum that Haleigh's current condition is NO WAY TO LIVE. I am sickened by the Culture of Death's attempts to kill off this child. Haleigh sounds like a little fighter with a heart and a WILL to live bigger than this nation.


ACTION ALERT:

Haleigh Poutre was discharged Thursday from Baystate Medical Center in Springfield and admitted to the Franciscan Hospital for Children. She has been hospitalized since September, when authorities say she was beaten into a coma.

A statement issued by the Franciscan Hospital said: "It is our hope that her stay at Franciscan will afford her the opportunity to maximize her potential for gains in her recovery."

The hospital advertises itself as the largest pediatric rehabilitation facility in New England.

Pro-Life/Pro-Baby ping!

Haleigh is making remarkable progress, detailed in this article, for someone who has been written off as "hopeless."

Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Pro-Life/Pro-Baby ping list...

But a day after the high court's ruling, doctors told DSS that they had noticed significant improvements in Haleigh, saying, in effect, ''Oops, we're seeing something," Spence said. Haleigh was off the ventilator and had begun to show increasing responsiveness.

Ooops is right... (post edited to remove profanity.)

Dear Lord, please hold this poor, beautiful baby in Your loving and healing arms, and keep her safe from the evil that surrounds her.

For Haleigh:

Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Iesu, exaudi me.
Intra tua vulnera absconde me.
Ne permittas me separari a te.
Ab hoste maligno defende me.
In hora mortis meae voca me.
Et iube me venire ad te,
Ut cum Sanctis tuis laudem te
In saecula saeculorum.

"Some neurologists say Haleigh's actions suggest she may have moved into a ''minimally conscious state," in which patients are aware of their surroundings and can respond to commands.

That condition could sometimes strengthen arguments to withdraw life support, because such patients can feel pain, some medical ethicists said. Patients in a vegetative state, on the other hand, are oblivious to the agony that is part of their life."

Rhetorical question, loaded with sarcasm, how in the blazes did we get to the point that a little girl is considered for killing in this fashion?

God must weep at what we have become.
