Reply #187: I understand what you're saying, but Doctors at "Miracle Hospitals"

aren't normally about going to court against parent's wishes. There was a time when Cancer was a death sentence and 2 pound babies didn't stand a chance at survival. Doctor's battle AIDS and SIDS and I'm sure this is a killer disease too.

The climate in this country places more value on the life of a white woman who asked NOT to be kept alive - in advance while she was an adult with all her faculties in tact - than it does on a severely sick black child whose mother was still fighting for him and visiting him and speaking to him and not ready to pull the plug.

This administration and the right wing fanatics have placed more value on undeveloped embryos than they do on living breathing children.

It's about honoring choice and quality of life. It's about letting the people involved make the decision, not having governments push their decisions down to us by claiming their version of morality is a one size fits all and letting the profits of the Health Care Companies dictate policy on who can live or die.
