Peace to you and yours. :~)
And to you and yours as well...
Thanks for the many many great posts.
Those who don't want to talk about Terri on a thread in response to an article about the Terri situation are the same ones that are anti-Terri. They got what they wanted. They would rather discuss themselves - it was always about 'them' (pre killing and, now, post killing) and never about Terri.
IMO, a 'right to die' term is used to confuse. It's a 'right to live' issue. Did Terri have a right to live?
What jury sentenced her to death? Who violated her rights? Her right for therapy with her own money, her right for sunshine, her right for stimulation, her right for a divorce from a adulterous husband, her right for a drink of water? Who violated her 'right to live' when she lived by the motto, "where there is life, there is hope? Who held her captive like some slave and then killed her when she is no longer useful in their eyes?
Great point! You're right about this, and the many other things you wrote.
You've packed a lot of excellent, common sense questions into one post.
Level headed thinking is verboten by the folks who know that the first step in eliminating fellow humans is to to label them as "sub-human."
When the circumstances are right, caring for an elderly family member at home is very rewarding.
I have been able to care for my 90 year old mother. My brother and sister cannot.
You were smart to ignore their suggestions.
I'm sorry they put you through that.
And thanks be to God for the folks who can see shadows, when shadows are present.
The ones who tell children not to talk to strangers.
The ones who warn others about oncoming tsunamis on clear and beautiful days.
The ones who see connections between smoking and lung cancer or between radiation and cancer.

Government is already involved in end-of-life cases, Senator Frist. Times are changing and we need to re-examine the statutes.
Everywhere and at all times demons have been lurking in the dark, waiting for the moment when man is weak; when of his own volition he leaves his place in the order of Creation as founded for him by God in freedom; when he yields to the force of evil, separates himself from the powers of a higher order; and after voluntarily taking the first step, he is driven on to the next and the next at a furiously accelerating rate.Everywhere and at all times of greatest trial men have appeared, prophets and saints who cherished their freedom, who preached the One God and with His help brought the people to a reversal of their downward course
Mary, you are probably right in most end-of-life situations BUT this case was an exceptional one where many questions went unanswered. IMHO Justice, Health and Human Services, and many other governmental offices failed this woman in her hour of need.
We probably see things differently on the government's involvement regarding beginning-of-life decisions too? I think that the number of abortions would be significantly reduced if the mother was discarded and the baby was kept.....
From The White Rose link....
But out of love for coming generations we must make an example after the conclusion of the war, so that no one will ever again have the slightest urge to try a similar action.
Some saw 'it' then, some did not (turned their heads in denial)
Some see 'it' now, some do not (turn their heads in denial)
'History repeats itself' is a truth but not for those in denial.
Re: 371. Wow! That was quick. Thanks!!!
I didn't see it. Thanks for what?
Yes.
I posted a picture of the judge, Roland Freisler, who was remarkably similar to Greer. You can see the pictures, and read about his unjust rulings
I asked to have the picture removed after I read the FAQ at the White Rose Web Site.
remarkably similar to Greer.
Yes, moreso, in the 3rd picture
I know the Defendant Huber. He doesn't have the right to be a German." Alex, Willi and Professor Huber were each condemned to die.
Ruling the same, also - a judge saying someone doesn't have a right.
From an old Terri thread on FR
Is Terri a person with constitutional rights?1. Dr. Cranford said, to Hannity last night, that PVS persons have no constitutional rights.2. Cranford has said that Terri is PVS
Question: Does Terri have the constitutional right to ask to be starved to death?
Regarding your post #367...yes, of course, there are those who see shadows, when shadows are really present...I was probably one such person like that when it came to my children....
However, there are extremists, who will see shadows where there are none at all...
I guess the real wisdom, is to really understand, when a shadow is hiding some real threat, and when a shadow, is well, nothing but a shadow...
Knowing the difference between something that is a real threat, and something that is not a real threat, can be tricky....
