IT IS NOT OVER YET - THE OPPOSITION IS STILL TRYING TO GET HER BACK TO THE HOSPICE - SO KEEP FIGHTING BLOGGERS AND READERS!
It’s unbelievable that her granddaughter is still trying to get her back in the hospice. What’s worrisome to me is that anyone with a heart condition who’s denied fluids and nourishment for 10 days may be beyond saving; in which case I can just hear the proponents of euthanasia saying “See. She was dead anyway. All you did was prolong her agony.”
If, in fact, Mae was indeed lucid and conscious before her attempted murder (and to date the story is tracking remarkably like the original story that appeared in WND) the idea that by nearly dehydrating her before giving her any treatment you somehow prove a euthanasia point is ludicrous…and intellectually dishonest.
But that’s what happens in a utilitarian society. The circumstances of ones incapacity doesn’t matter. It’s up to all of us to justify our existence on a daily basis.
I think I’m gonna quit smoking. Who knows? The way these nuts work, they may figure because I’m going to die of cancer one day, they may as well help me along now.
No thanks. And I was only kidding about quitting smoking. They will have to drag that butt from my cold dead fingers.
