I'd love to say "ditto" to that, but unfortunately, the "Nazi stuff" is a very valid point.

In October 1939, Hitler himself initiated a decree which empowered physicians to grant a "mercy death" to "patients considered incurable according to the best available human judgment of their state of health." The intent of the socalled "euthanasia" program, however, was not to relieve the suffering of the chronically ill. The Nazi regime used the term as a euphemism: its aim was to exterminate the mentally ill and the handicapped, thus "cleansing" the "Aryan" race of persons considered genetically defective and a financial burden to society.

And, as an addendum to what I've said, what's going on in Florida is just another page out of the Nazi playbook. The neurologist chosen and used by Michael Schiavo admitted last night on H&C that advanced alzheimers patients who are unable to manually feed themselves should NOT receive feeding tubes.

What, I ask you, is that but Nazi-esque sentiment????
