Boo! Need any scary stories for Halloween? The news is full of scary ideas for this Halloween season. Guess it's that time of the year. Halloween sarcasm aside; trial balloons are being floated over the euthanasia issue, under the guise of compassion. First, in England, a well-know British pundit, by the name of "Ms Ironside" (no joke), has suggested it would be kinder to smother a disabled child than to allow it to suffer or cause inconvenience to it's parents. She actually states, "Any good mother would smother a disabled child with a pillow because of the frustration that bringing up such a baby would pose." Are you scared yet?
She'd rather kill someone than go out of her way to help someone! Heaven help us! This is the utilitarian ultimate! It brings to mind a statement, "better dead than disabled"; and our society seems to be heading down that scary road. If you believe that all social engineering is preceded by verbal engineering, we ought then to take note of such scary ideas as this, coming out of Britain. Are ya scared yet?
In the US, Dr. Tonimarie Vincent of N. Carolina, states, "A death panel is one doctor. The American public does not understand this. You can go into an emergency room for an acute condition, and if you have a chronic diagnosis that already exists, the doctor will look at you, and if you're elderly, or you don't have the right insurance, they'll simply say: "Well, it's just not worth treating the patient." "That's the death panel. Therefore, they're executing the futility protocol and they're saying: "This is a futile case, the patient is going to die anyway, they have a chronic condition, forget the acute condition that brought them in here, let's just not treat them." "So, whether the health care provider practices slow medicine, exit treatment or whatever, they just won't provide the patient with the care they need." Scared yet? " Quoting a line from the movie "The Fly", you better - "be afraid, be very afraid!"

The Chicago Tribune featured a Watchdog article 10/8/10 called "Deadly Neglect" regarding a profoundly handicapped 9-yr old boy, Jeremiah Clark, who died after no one called a doctor regarding his symptoms. He was dropped off at his school where teachers were alarmed to see fluids leaking profusely from the hole where his feeding tube entered his abdomen. His clothes were soaked and teachers mopped the puddle under his wheelchair and sent him back to his care facility. The second day he came to school in even worse condition and the third day the facility, on the north side of Chicago, called a doctor who told his mother that surgery would be a long shot and would be painful. His mother said, No. "He's been through enough." Jeremiah was taken to a hospital where he soon died of shock, infection, and a bowel obstruction.
Here in Chicago we have our own Ms Ironsides working as caregivers.
Dear Anonymous, This is happening all over the country. We live in a society that has canonized youth & beauty & perfection. All those who do not fit this description of human worth, are expendable. Botox for your wrinkles etc. but no dollars for the disabled. Just like the unborn they are being placed in a category outside the human circle. While this poor child was sitting in his own bodily fuids in a wheelchair with his life-line disconnected, most Americans were at the health club, deciding where they should sit in the sauna, or sweat on a treadmill, complete with headphones. Obviously something is missing. Could it be religion and teaching on the sanctity of human life. It's missing in most churches. Pretty soon we will be seeing religious services in the spa. Our society is busy looking at the outer of a person, rather than looking at the inner; the soul, which is made in the image and likness of God. And each and every soul was created for their own individual purpose, physically perfect or not. Thanks for your input.
