PRO-LIFE ISSUES - That dirty little secret!

John at Blogotional links to Laer at Cheat Seeking Missiles, reminding us of the hypocrisy of those who argued vociferously for the murder of Terri Schiavo in order to "protect" her right-to-die. Read John's worthwhile insights here.

The case of Leslie Burke is brought before the bar of public opinion ... the logic goes like this:
if A (Schiavo) wishes to avoid artificial means of continuing her life, then the state must protect A's right-to-die, ergo A dies sans artificial life support; so, if B (Burke) wishes to use artificial means to continue his life, then the state must protect B's right-to-live, ergo B lives with artificial life support.
Evidently, those who have decided they have the right to decide who lives or dies, have decided everybody dies!

John offers sage insight on the issue; while Laer echoes my sentiments concerning the trustworthiness of contemporary healthcare professionals ... there is none!
