This case has a parallel to the plight of Terri!

I hope all get a chance to check it out in this thread by wagglebee just posted.

A legal battle is raging in Manitoba between doctors who want to take an 84-year-old man off life support and his family who says pulling the plug would be tantamount to murder according to their religious beliefs.

Samuel Golubchuk's family says it would be a sin under the Orthodox Jewish faith to "hasten" his death by removing the ventilator and feeding tube.

"They believe that an intentional act which likely will result in death is murder," said Neil Kravetsky, the family's lawyer...............

"We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will give you no rest."

Family argues taking 84-year-old off life support is against their faith

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean it’s the right thing. Who’s business is it of total strangers trying to over rule the family.
