..you left off the kicker:

• Then came the unexpected: Before "pulling the plug" on Haleigh, Spence finally decided to visit her. He was stunned. Rather than finding a little girl with "not a chance" of recovery, as doctors had described Haleigh's condition to him (as reported by the Boston Globe), Haleigh was conscious. She was able to give Spence a yellow block when asked to by a social worker and respond to other simple requests.

Ping. Does anyone know if someone has a Haleigh Poutre ping list?

There is a huge difference between this story and Schiavo. But you all know that.

...Lest anyone think that Haleigh's apparent consciousness protects her from suffering the fate of Terri Schiavo, who was ordered dehydrated by a Florida court based, in part, on a finding that she was unconscious, think again. In most states, exhibiting consciousness is not a defense against dehydration for profoundly impaired patients. Indeed, cognitively disabled people who are conscious are commonly dehydrated throughout the country. So long as no family member objects, the practice is deemed medically routine...

In today's 'compassionate' world, the standard society uses decide whether another lives or dies is if we would 'want to live like that.' In reality of course, the standard is whether a given individual is to be considered a burden upon society or a potential contributor to the collective.

If this little girl had only murdered someone before becoming disabled, the Left would now be rising up in her defense. It is her innocence that condemns her.

These are examples of decadence and cold indifference to life that our Jihadist enemies can point to as proof that our culture is toxic and as such should be forcibly replaced with theirs for the ultimate good of all.

Speaking of "cognitively disabled, biologically tenacious" slimeballs, bioethicists head the list.

Poor girl...she had the misfortune of living in Massachusetts, surrounded by death loving liberals.

Ping!

[oldbrowser]

Indeed, removing ANH has come to be seen widely in medicine and bioethics as an "ethical" way to end the lives of cognitively disabled "biologically tenacious" patients

Chilling reminder of how taking God out of our lives reduces us to clever animals.

Great find. Thanks.

Here is an owl. I think it is a good owl. No, a splendid owl! Look at those fine sleek feathers, those bright, beady eyes! I'd even say it is a Superb Owl, wouldn't you?

People are saying this is Superb Owl Sunday. I don't know what that means, but I thought I'd share my own superb owl with this lovely group. Thank you.

" a little girl who had already suffered so much was stripped by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of even the chance to fight to stay alive. If she didn't stop breathing when the respirator was removed, which doctors expected, she would slowly dehydrate to death. "

It wasn't bad enough that she was adopted by monsters, but on top of that they had to live in Massachusetts of all places.

Of course, if you're a monster, I guess you might be attracted to a state that crowns a monster senator-for-life.
