"I can't help but wonder how intertwined this Robert Wood Johnson Connection is to NJ's Stem Cell project."
I know RWJ is left oriented but I didn't know there was a connection here.
I suspect, I don't know for sure, that they are probably heavily involved in embryonic stem cell research. It is FEDERAL funding that is banned. A private institution CAN legally pursue it. I see NO reason why they aren't pursuing it. Most of the left sees "great promise" in this plus it suits their culture of death to the unborn mentality.
I am sooo sickened by this Terri situation.
Surely our Good Lord must hear our heart cries and prayers to Him and know that some of us still SEE and WANT to adhere to His teachings - thou shalt not MURDER! I was hoping that if enough prayed to Him, that this would stop and that our country would straighten out. I fear there is not enough of us to have that happen. I fear we just made another evil milestone. I see this as a grave moment on the slippery slope - as in abortion - not it is the brain damaged.
not it is the brain damaged.
correction
NOW it is the brain damaged.
They ALWAYS pick on the defenseless - the unborn, the informed and now THIS.
What people don't realize is that starving a person to death in Florida when they are terminal is COMMON.
Not to get this off focus, I just honestly believe that our prayers affirm our faith and God gave us the power and choice to make things happen.
I don't believe God will come down and fix things for Terri. He leaves the ability and choices up to us.
I sympathize with your feelings of frustration, but we can't compartmentalize God as an "Amero-centric" deity. There are inhumanities taking place across the globe, everyday. If our system is rotting, there's no reason to assume God wouldn't allow us to fall into bondage like kingdom after kingdom in the Bible, empire after empire in history.
All you need to know is this: God is merciful. He is taking care of Terri, even if it means ushering her into paradise. We're up in arms because the spotlight on the lack of respect for life in this country just got considerably brighter.
Remember the words of Jesus on the way to the cross - "pray not for me, pray for yourselves and your children."
