I just heard that the Pope is refusing to be taken to the hospital again. In response to immediate questions about why it is immoral for Terri Shiavo to refuse artificial life support but not for the Pope, the Papal spokesman, much like Tom DeLay's spokepeople, said that the Pope's situation was different. To clarify, the Church's new position is that refusing food and water is immoral but refusing O2 tents etc is fine.
How interesting that Church doctrine choses to split this particular hair in a way that so conveniently gives the Pope (but not all Catholics) choice in this matter.
Question: Raise your hands all those who think the Pope would not have accepted the feeding tube if the Terri Shiavo case had not been so public....you can't see it but my hand is up.
(note: he's got the tube because his appatite is depressed because of his illness and he's not getting enough calories from eating or being fed more naturally)
Come on, now RBR! Don't become an extremist like the other side. The Pope is conscious and can tell people what he wants and what he doesn't. His brain isn't liquified. And the Church position isn't new. It's been around for a while now.
For the first time today I took some time to look for infomation and related pages to this very topic. I also have a site related to this and I sometimes search in the blogs, looking for new article ideas. Today it was a joy to come across a real interesting post that you made. Thanks for this great blog self employment retirement plan
And on a lighter note than pure trial yard , check out the funniest trial transcript ever! If it's not serious enough of a topic, well, just pretend it's the Brit's version of trial yard !
Not to be cruel, but maybe we should consider it as a new trend. What a weight control method!
