Perhaps I read more between the lines than I should.
That is irresponsible and unacceptable on my part.

Please accept my sincere and public apology.

Oh my! poor kid!

Sounds like she has hope though. she's breathing so that indicates that brain stem damage isn't severe. Usually with trama it swells and the victim dies, becauase blood flow is lost. Since her heart never stopped beating theres a better chance that ischemia was localized instead of global.
reation to stimuli is good, and it's early after the incident, so thats good.

Sounds like DSS wants a problem to go away.

If you don't mind CGK, when you learn more info on this case, freep mail them to me. I'd like to follow this .

What we have to be careful of is obvious. only He can take the soul. What we do with the vessel doesn't concern him after the soul has departed.

That is a lie. That is not what God said. He said not to kill the innocent. Allowing someone to die without extraordinary medical measures is one thing. Withholdindg food and water from someone who would otherwise live is murder.

Thank you for this post & #16. I don't know all the medical and technical "jargon" so it helps to have some of it explained. :)

[cgk]

I don't mind at all. :)

Too bad no one cared about this kid until she became an "issue".

Yes. And how lucky for her that she did become an issue.

"Just because you get permission to remove life support doesn't mean you're going to do it,"

How naive the DSS folks are.

Sometimes, a judge will take control, and order that the patient be killed.

And how lucky for you as well?

And how lucky for you as well?

It's a good thing that her luckiness doesn't depend on my luckiness.

She is lucky, whether a hundred of us are lucky, or a million of us are lucky, or none of us are lucky.

It took a lot of lies to kill Terri, and it will take a lot of lies to kill Haleigh. I expect to see people pretending to jump on board to help save Haleigh, only to support her murder a year from now. I don't expect honesty from anyone who would twist God's Words into lies.

Shh, stop with the facts! You will only anger and confuse them.

[rimtop56]

If you want to advocate killing her, go ahead. But don't pretend that God says it's okay.
