The Culture of Death (cod)

Although Terri Shindler was profoundly limited in her abilities her life and her death had great meaning and purpose. For fourteen days She died under the Order of the Court that not only removed the tube which had previously been a pathway for food and water but also put armed guards around her so that no one could try to give her food and water. During those fourteen days the culture of death (cod) came out and showed itself. The people who have struggled in the pro-life community for many years knew this day was coming although the reality of it is still terrifying. First they came for the babies in the womb, then people on ventilators (Karen Quinlan), then infants whose life they felt wouldn’t be worth living. Assisted suicide? Oregon says yes you may. Terminate an infant whose remaining life is deemed not worth living, Texas says let the Doctors decide. Now there is Terri. I am in my early 50’s and I have little chance of dying a natural death when I am near the end of my life. The question remains R U Next.

Its bloody creepy looking, its says NO ONE 2 Trust and then this bloody hand holding a cell phone says R U next. Is this the same subject.

anoymous,

Sorry we are no relation to the Bill Board and I don't know where the Bil Board is from. We will all die. Will God decide when or as in the case of Terri the State? R U next, M I next As Brutus would say the answer is "not in the stars but in ourselves".
