Excellent story! He truly is amazing!
May I not fall into the hands of those who have forsaken God in the perverse and wicked age we live in.
Similar scenario under Obamacare except you will just get a form letter in the mail with regrets and a disconnected 800 number to call.
In this country, motor neuron disease is known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Charcot’s disease.
In The Netherlands, many older people who are sick avoid the hospital because they know that if they check in, they will never check out.
He’s a beautiful young man with a beautiful family. I know that they want to have him there to love until the very end. Rotten health service!
How many times can my heart be broken. I read and feel like crying. Jesus certainly knew of what he spoke.
“Motor neurone disease is a killer. But so is life,” continued Fitzmaurice. “Everybody dies. But just because you die, just because you will die at some point in the future, does that mean you should kill yourself now? For me, they were asking me to take my own life. Or to endorse euthanasia. I refused.”
How many in similar situations can't refuse? Don't have the strength, or the supportive family? This is a must read article. Note that "bioethics" actually means "let's kill helpless people".
Note to self - must get 1984 and read it.
Anybody that wants a ventilator or other seriously expensive technology to stay viable beyond the obvious expiration date that God has stamped on them should be able to have one at their own expense. Tax payers should not have to pay for it. This is especially true, IMHO, if the root cause of your underlying disease process can be attributed to poor lifestyle choices on your part. Tax payers should not be subsidizing irresponsible lifestyle choices. Furthermore, if Doctors warn you hat if you gte pregnant you will give birth to a child with massive medical complications that will result in large financial obligations and you choose to become pregnant and go forward with the birth, that’s on you, not me.
Good for him! His family needs and loves him. What arrogance on the part of his doctors to assume that his life is not worth living!
And this government power of life and death is exactly what Obama was proposing yet again yesterday, as he touted his council of health experts that will make those decisions for us. NO WAY, BO. NO WAY.

To a liberal a late term abortion is ethical. To a national socialist exterminating 6.5 millions Jews was providing humanity a service. In this relativistic world with no absolutes, where it's simply a matter of mob rule and hedonism (which once God is removed it ALWAYS ends up being), where utilitarianism rules and where there is no deeper purpose, his life is worthless. Simple-
Doctors are supposed to save lives. If we do not value life, what do we value?
This is why Obamacare is so dangerous. This is going to happen here in the US. We must fight this as hard as we can.
The fearful thing about this is that this is a door to political genocide. If a conservative patient is in such a situation and his or her doctor is a flaming libtard, do you really think that doctor won’t take the opportunity to eliminate someone who has a differing opinion?
We need to really cut back on the Federal Governments ability to interfere with our lives. They are WAY out of control. Not only here in the US but around the world.
The straw keeps piling up on the proverbial camels back. It won’t be long until it breaks and all holy hell will break loose.
