Woman Fights to Have Comatose Son Euthanized

An Australian woman would like doctors to administer a fatal dose of morphine to her comatose son.

Joanne Dunn wants her son to die in her arms. Mark Leigep, 34, has been in a vegetative state for more than three years.

"Mark isn't coming back," Dunn said. "He's my baby and they should let my baby go."

~snip~

Doctors removed Leigep's feeding tube twice in 2006, but it was replaced following family disagreements that year.

The tube was then removed by doctors again in the same year, but the Royal Adelaide Hospital administration ordered the tube be replaced. . .

"We will not be silent.
We are your bad conscience.
The White Rose will give you no rest."

Roundup: Reactions to Obama at Notre Dame

President Obama's appearance at the Notre Dame commencement exercises produced an enormous outpouring of journalistic coverage.

Prior to the event, the atmosphere was so feverish that when Duncan Maxell Anderson concocted a story based on the idea that Obama had donated his speaking fee to defray lost alumni contributions, many readers failed to recognize that it was a satire.

On the GetReligion site, Terry Mattingly continued to insist that reporters should get their facts straight. That was, alas, a losing battle.

USA Today provided live blogging on the event, with a panel of experts (including Joseph Lawler, son of CWN editor Phil Lawler) offering their perspectives.

When he addressed the commencement audience, Father John Jenkins, the president of Notre Dame, was in effect making his own observations on the controversy. Father Jenkins let his enthusiasm for President Obama show through clearly; it cannot be a coincidence that he used the word "hope" five times in his first five opening paragraphs. . .
