Euthanasia in Canada...Wagglebee thread on the tide of death culture wafting at its shores:

OTTAWA, Ontario, October 31, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The growing push for euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada threatens the foundations of the country, said B.C. palliative care expert Dr. Margaret Cottle, replacing genuine compassion with an easy reliance on “rights.”

“The concept of medical killing is predicated on the assumption that death is better,” Dr. Cottle pointed out in a presentation to Members of Parliament in Ottawa last Thursday. “Yet there is not one shred of evidence that people are better off dead. Show me the evidence that the person is better off dead, that the quality of life is going to be better.”

“Even people who don’t believe in heaven or an afterlife claim death brings peace--well, the onus is on those seeking change to prove the benefits of the change. How can a secular society claim that people are ‘better off dead‘?”

Euthanasia? How Can a Secular Society Claim Anyone is “Better Off Dead”?

Whittemore???? The other judge who twiddled his thumbs as Terri lay suffering? Yes, that one. I'm just puzzled.

TAMPA — James D. Whittemore, the federal judge who issued an order allowing Reform Party candidate Max Linn to participate in Monday's gubernatorial debate, was a key figure in the Terri Schiavo case.

Linn made a surprise appearance in the statewide television debate, which was supposed to have featured only Republican Charlie Crist and Democrat Jim Davis.

The answer is: They cannot.

I recall Gloria Allred saying (in reference to Terri) something to the effect that death is so final, why not err in favor of life. Many others have expressed similar opinions.

That's easy. Ask a trial lawyer! Especially a spiritually awakened one such as George Felos. He will channel the dead person for you. True, he charges more than other spiritual advisors and fortune tellers, but he, er, uh, the dead person will tell you exactly what you want to hear!

Mr. Felos, apparently sober, spoke thus to an earlier client, Estelle Browning:

>> “‘Mrs. Browning, do you want to die? … Do you want to die?’—I near shouted as I continued to peer into her pools of strikingly beautiful but incognizant blue. It was so eerie. Her eyes were wide open and crystal clear, but instead of the warmth of lucidity, they burned with the ice of expressionlessness.”

Mrs. Browning's unspeaking innards replied, yes, she did want to die, thank you very much. And that took care of that. And you doubt that the dead are better off?!?

John Edwards, another trial lawyer, famously channeled an unborn baby, made millions by it, and ruined the practice of obstetrics. Today, when a woman gets a C-section, chances are high that Edwards put her through the extra pain of surgery. Not to mention some scars that hot wax won't remove.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a lawyer. She has hardly any trial experience, yet she could channel Eleanor Roosevelt! Mrs. Roosevelt told her that her husband Franklin cheated too.
