Let me repeat!
DISABLED GAL CAN'T DECIDE LIFE OR DEATH
September 22, 2006 -- In a case of "Whose life is it anyway?" a state appeals court ruled yesterday that a mentally handicapped woman has no say over whether she should be kept alive on life support.In the unanimous decision, a five-judge panel ruled that the 26-year-old - who says she wants to be kept on life support in the event she's felled by illness or an accident - isn't competent to make that decision. Instead, her mother, who is her legal guardian, gets to make the call - and she doesn't want her daughter on life support.
A lawyer for the woman, identified only as Chantel R., did not return a call for comment. The decision says the woman has an IQ of 52, about the mental capacity of a 7-year-old, "but otherwise does not suffer from any particular illness."
To apply the term "extremist" to pro-lifers is patently absurd and ridiculous! Even those who would like to argue that one has the "right" to choose death, need to get a grip on cases like this one. Before you ever begin to even consider sentencing an INNOCENT person to death, you DEATH WORSHIPPING , "COMPASSIONATE," LIBS, should be demanding irrefutable proof that this person UNQUESTIONABLY and UNEQUIVOCALLY TRULY WISHES TO BE DEAD!
No judge, no jury, no doctor, no spouse, no legal guardian, no relative, or ad litum should ever have any power to choose death for another living soul. EVER!
Just to be clear, we are talking about INNOCENT human beings. We are not talking about terrorists (whom you all LOVE to defend against having underwear draped on their heads because it is "humiliating and degrading") or murderous thugs (like your hero Tookie).
The desire to live is the most basic instinct within every human being. To deny ANYONE the right to live goes against the VERY FOUNDATION of HUMANITY, let alone to our nation. To say someone is unable to choose to LIVE due to lack of the ability to speak or mental ability is cruel, inhumane, INSANE, and the most extreme assertion that could possibly be made. In just the example above; ask any 7 year old if they want to live or die. If that child chose to “die,” any decent human being would rush this child in for therapy and begin digging to find out why such a feeling would exist in her.
And don't start screaming and howling about who should "pay" for the care of such a person, you Libs never saw a social hand-out you didn't love. Not to mention that no one has any right to breath such gibberish and nonsense until they start screaming about the amount of money Americans pay out in health care to illegal invaders you nuts like to refer to as "undocumented immigrants." The ability of you Liberal Freaks to twist the definitions of words that have been perfectly understood for thousands of years is just beyond the best con and spin campaign our forefathers could have ever imagined, and YOU KNOW IT!
I'd venture to say this 26 year old woman, with the mental capacity of a 7 year old, is worlds above the intellect of the morons who think this kind of thing is acceptable, let alone anything BUT pure eeevil.
