I wasn't talking legally I was talking morally. I'm glad he and his girlfriend chose life for their daughter back then. Can you be assured that he would want this story told? He's gone so nobody could have asked him.....maybe not everybody who wanted privacy got it. I don't think less of him at all. The whole story just makes me sad.
You must spend a lot of time feeling sad if that's what you get from what to everyone else is an uplifting story.
How do you get sad from this story? If I were the adoptive girl, I would be so proud to find out he was my dad. It shows us how much Tom Burnett valued life, an unborn baby's life when he was young, and untold lives that would have been lost if flight 93 would have hit its intended target. I think it would also be inspiration to live my life the way my dad did and to really strive to accomplish great things.
No, but I can be assured that this is how Western civilization has dealt with this moral issue for thousands of years. More importantly, I can be assured Deena Burnett--who I'd venture knew him a whole lot better than either of us!--thought this honored his memory. If not, this story would not have been told.
