How absolutely despicable is that???!!!!!
Didn't anyone learn anything from the Terri Schiavo case?
Excerpt:
She's no longer in need of the breathing machine, and now a court order has been issued, and appealed, that could allow the removal of her feeding tube, and her resulting death, the newspaper reported.
The Schiavo case, on which WND reported exhaustively, ended in March 2005 when Terri died, despite a battle by her parents to overturn a court order allowing the same treatment, the removal of her feeding tube.
A priest who was with Terri Schiavo during her final hours in this life later told WND society has it all wrong – because it does not understand the difference between a futile treatment and a futile life.
Father Frank Pavone, of Priests for Life, said even healthy people, if brain-injured, are in danger under the current precedent of cases.
"Terry left no indication that she wanted to be deprived of food and water. Yet the courts insisted that this happen. Nor was Terri lacking a family ready to care for her, without complaint. Yet they were not allowed to," he said.
The courts gave permission to her husband, who was living with another woman, to order doctors to withhold food and water from her.
"Many people fear that they will be given all kinds of machines and medicines against their will," Pavone told WND. "What they should fear is exactly the opposite, namely, that even when they indicate that they want appropriate treatments, these will be denied them.
"Laws vary from state to state," he said, "but one of the most dangerous flaws in the law is that which considers food and water to be 'medical treatment' rather than ordinary human care. When we return from a meal, we don't say that we just 'returned from our latest medical treatment,'" he said.
Randy Richardson told the newspaper the daughter he once knew is no longer there, and she did not leave any documentation of her desires in such circumstances, but he maintains she has made progress, no longer needing a ventilator, and could be able respond further at some point, with time and therapy
.
"We just want to give her a chance," he said.
He and the Delaware Pro-life Coalition recently documented her response and reaction to family members while being cared for at a nursing home.
Randy Richardson said his desire is to take his daughter home and let her live whatever is left of her life in dignity.
This is where this awful culture of death has taken us. It is due to corruption. It is due to evil. It is due to depravity. It is due to people playing God with other's lives!! It's absolutely horrendous!!
