Stop your hate filled action immediately and remember you are a mortal yourself and think how you would feel if the situation was reversed! You won't live forever yourself and you also don't know in what condition you may end up in!

Now, I take issue with that.

If you don't agree with our efforts and/or beliefs, then you are certainly free to voice that in calm, reasoned terms. You are welcome to enter into a reasonable discourse of the subject. It is simply unreasonable that a member of FR would spew the Democratic/liberal party line of 'stop the hate'. There is nothing hate-filled in this thread.

As well, I invite you to take your own advice. You never know when, someday, you'll wish you could scream to the world that you are alive -- just disabled -- when someone begins your slow, painful starvation.

This street goes both ways.

What is it that you think is hateful about not liking the current trend to kill off the disabled and elderly in our society?

"Stop your hate filled action immediately"

The LORD loves those who hate evil; he guards the lives of his faithful; he rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light dawns for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
Psalm 97: 10-12


"Remember you are a mortal yourself"

REALLY?? You don't say!


"think how you would feel if the situation was reversed!"

If I were doing what Judge Greer is doing, I would deserve the same treatment.


"you also don't know in what condition you may end up in!"

True, but I know I won't have George Felos as my attorney, and for that, I give thanks.

"Stop your hate filled action immediately, etc."



Oh, I GET IT!!

Is this what you want to say to Judge Greer??

If that's so, please ignore my post # 5187 above, and accept my apology for the sarcasm.

Reading your post, it's certainly not clear to whom it's addressed.
We're on a hair-trigger response here at Terri's thread, after all that's happened these past few weeks (and years).

"Hate filled action"

Oh, please, try again. If you can't see that people here are trying to save a feeling human being, then get some help yourself, please.

You know, I may have made a mistake, and I apologize if I did. If your post was not to Ragtime, but to Judge greer himself, I apologize.It looked that it was to ragtime.

winker, I am going out on a limb here, guessing you've lost someone who was incapacitated or have attended some of the right-to-die 'classes'?

I promise you my actions are not motivated by hate. My own father passed away in Hospice, where he was treated very well and could self-medicate with morphine. During his last days, after slipping into the physical state where he would not be 'waking up', he talked out loud, worked through issues from his past about his own mother that had not been dealt with, somewhere beyond our reach.

My neighbor's beloved wife went through the same during her last days, after months in bed. She was in pain and her husband in torment. He considered helping her die. I told him about my father, that the nurses said it wasn't unusual for people in their last days to slip into unconsciousness and clearly speak to someone, work out issues. What if it is God giving us a last chance to make things right before we die? My friend did not kill his wife. She went through her own last day struggle, speaking, unconscious, and quietly slipped away. What if we took away someone's chance to repent because we put our will ahead of God's?

It isn't a light question. I don't have many answers. I do know my father was at peace when he died.
