Just curious... Do you believe they killed those people?
I’d like to think she was being merciful rather than mean. Tough call.
I have no doubt that if I am in a situation where no medical help is coming or possible, and horrendously suffering death which is not an if but a given in the situation, and all of society has completely broke down and I am trying to run a hospital in such a situation, with no resupplies, no electricity, no sterility, no nothing, then yes, I would not have any issues ending their suffering.
Just as I would not hesitate to put a bullet into the brain stem of another human if they were lying there with their brains hanging out of their head, obviously going to die, and no medical help of any sort was available.
If these actions will send me to hell by my maker, then I will face his judgement for them. However to bring these people up on charges for their actions in the situation they were in is unconscionable.
Yes.
The hospital, much like the rest of New Orleans, knew this storm was coming. They knew what the potential for destruction was. If they really cared for the lives of these patients they would have moved them to other facilities away from the city. These deaths are inexcusable.
