In the 70's I was working in a children's nursing home. We had a 17 year old placed there. He had been badly injured in a car accident. He had severe head injuries and he was basically flat lined and we know these people can never recover don't we?

His mother was asked to just let him go and donate his organs. She refused and he was sent to us to care for until he died. Several months later he left us. WALKING OUT ON HIS OWN FEET.

That’s what these monsters want, they believe our only value is for our “parts”.

Happen not to be the worst case scenerio many times.

My son may be a quad but his zest for life is more so than some non disabled people.

Yet we have had Docs tell us over the years why let him suffer, he doesnt see his life as unfruitful!

OTOH we have had awesome Docs who support his love of life.

Before I got through the article I thought about Terri and I am really suprized her husband did not donate her body parts.

My son refuses to put donor on his ID card or on his Advanced Directive. Due to the fact he is worried a doc with the wrong insight may pull the plug if he were ever on a vent again.
