I”m not advocating euthanasia, but wouldn’t it be kinder to at least afford them as much care as we give our pets? NO ONE would even allow this kind of treatment for an animal. What is wrong with some Americans?
Are we desensitized to shame. Or is there no shame anymore. Selling a book about killing one's mother. I think our spiralling, shameless moral decline is why we will re-elect Obama. There is no more shame. You'll see four more years.
Thank you for your comment (post #4). I always felt guilty about pulling the feeding tube on my dying mother (brain cancer) but it was the most humane thing I could do. I know she’s in heaven thanking me.
Pets are not people. They are loved, they are family members. Most people can see taking care of moms and dads, or having them at a place they are taken care of when they need it. Not many people can stop life to take care of a pet animal, or justify the funds to do so, no matter how much the animal is loved.
Animals also cannot tell you exactly what their wishes are or if they change their minds.
Further animals, being innocent creatures, have no need to be saved, their eternal destination is secure - back to God. Killing off people prematurely may take away the time they need and experiences they need in order to develop a saving faith.
Perhaps you should have picked a different story to express your opinion on, as this woman wasn’t terminal.
