Your types just love to use words like “kill” don’t you

Well, aren’t you special. Like the rest of us don’t have mothers and fathers that we take care or or took care of until they passed away. I lost six relatives in the space of 5 years to old age. So, aren’t I special. See, there you go with that moral superiority again, like you are the only one who has a mother.

Well, aren’t you special.

I was replying to your incorrect assertions about my familiarity with end of life issues.

I'm not out to prove anything except that I have cared for someone who has been close to death upon occasions.

You assumed I hadn't.

[syriacus]

See, there you go with that moral superiority again, like you are the only one who has a mother.

Not at all. You've leapt to an incorrect conclusion.

I have asked that question many times on similar threads and never gotten a straight answer. As for myself, I’m making a note to stay out of Catholic hospitals. I don’t want to linger on like that, no matter what the Pope says.
