We have all been following the Terri Schiavo case very closely in recent months, but Raven points out in a recent post that euthanasia has been occurring regularly in this country - multiple cases have also been logged that allow family members to make decisions that are against the wishes of the patient. In Raven’s post, it is a case of a granddaughter wanting to kill off her grandma due to what seems to be "inconvenience." And the judicial system favors her.
In a country where convicted murders get to live out their life awaiting punishment, you would think every day citizens who want to live would have it easy.
Ironic, isn’t it?
Update: …an update courtesy of Beth. I’m so sensitive to the subject I felt compelled to post on it, but am with Beth - I don’t think there’s anything else to say about this particular case.
