Counting for Something

What is a life worth? How do you measure the value of a human being? When one's productive capacity diminishes, does that negate one's very humanity? When did we relinquish our right to live to the none to tender mercies of health care providers? Patients and their families beware!

No Old Times

When the young are given fiat to terminate their elders, civilization has fallen into barbarism. Physicians can not be permitted the power of death without due process, a protection given even the most heinous murderer. Innocent life must have at least the same protection.

Fight for Life

Are my readers aware that medical care may be withheld because a physician asserts "medical futility"? My family had not heard of this odious concept until it was too late.

A Broken Promise

Chronological age should not be a measure of worth. Being handicapped should not place one in automatic jeopardy. All innocent human life has value.

Our Providential Masters

Euthanasia should not be tolerated in America. Eugenics should never be permitted (again). The aged and infirm deserve our care and protection. Resources are not so finite as to deny possibly life saving care. The culture of life must be defended.

Medicine or Manslaughter?

Does the patient or patient's family have any say in the course of treatment or is it now the function of doctor(s) to control destiny? When did it become acceptable for physicians to play God?

A Killing Kind

Learning the difference between losing a loved one and having someone taken is the most bitter education one can experience. We will never have peace with recent events.
