Actor Kevin James Speaks Up for Disabled People, Says Only God Should Decide When Life EndsLifeNews.com, By Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, on Jan 25, 2024https://www.lifenews.com/2024/01/25/actor-kevin-james-speaks-up-for-disabled-people-says-only-god-should-decide-when-life-ends/A discussion prompted by actor Kevin James' stance on end-of-life autonomy, particularly in light of the infamous Terry Schiavo case. James advocates for God as the sole determinant of when a person's life ends, reflecting a traditional religious view. However, his position clashes with evolving societal norms that prioritize individual decision-making and compassionate choices in matters of life support and end-of-life care. The panel scrutinizes James' stance, highlighting the outdated and potentially dangerous implications of imposing religious beliefs on medical decisions.Phoebe shares her perspective as someone who remembers the Terry Schiavo case being sensationalized in the media, viewing it as emblematic of the intersection between religious conservatism and medical ethics. She questions the relevance of reviving such a dated case and criticizes the politicization and sensationalism surrounding it.Infidel64 adds depth to the discussion by highlighting the complexities of religious beliefs, particularly within the context of Catholicism's stance on suicide and martyrdom. He emphasizes the importance of personal autonomy in medical decision-making and advocates for a society that protects the rights of individuals, including the option of euthanasia for those who choose it.The panel also discusses the significance of advanced directives, emphasizing the importance of proactive planning for end-of-life care. They stress the need for open conversations about death and medical preferences among loved ones and advocate for legal mechanisms that uphold individual autonomy in healthcare decisions.Ultimately, the discussion underscores the importance of respecting personal autonomy and diverse perspectives in navigating complex ethical dilemmas surrounding end-of-life care.The Non-Prophets Episode 23.06.1 on February 12, 2024 with Kelley Laughlin, Phoebe Rose, Blatant Atheist, and Infidel64.

Kate discusses this week's episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo. Nick Caputo and Jackie Jesko, Executive Producers of Between Life & Death. The MSNBC/Peacock documentary details the famous right-to-die legal battle over Terri Schiavo's fate, which divided a family and launched an American culture war. This film explores how the “pro-life” movement harnessed Terri's story for political gain, raising questions about the government's role in our private lives and who decides if a life is worth living.

Continuing with the drive-time focus from the last segment is in keeping with the current thrust of UnMind. Each segment consists of a dissertation on issues typical of the USA, and coping with the international scope of global citizenship. Such concerns as over-consumption and the cult of the individual, plus lingering hangovers from 19th- and 20th-century ideas regarding right speech, action and livelihood, the right conduct sided of the Noble Eightfold Path, recur throughout as themes. The halo effect of right meditation proves to be our saving grace, in meeting, and managing to maintain, a genuine Zen practice in the face of daily life in a chaotic world. I would like to key off of one of our Paramitas, or “perfecting practices,” the very first one, concerning Dana, or generosity. I suggest that you might practice generosity with yourself while driving in traffic, which may strike you as an odd concept. But if you can be truly generous with yourself, it is much easier to be generous with others.According to my limited understanding of classical Buddhism, and likely the proto-Hinduism that preceded Buddhism, karmic consequences of our actions may be positive, negative, and even neutral. But there will be consequences, regardless. The judgment call as to whether a consequence may be regarded as positive or negative is based upon human perception and desire. Certain consequences, and outcomes, we want to happen; others we want to avoid like the plague. Incidentally, The first Plague of history turns out to be an unintended consequence of human activity. It was reputedly transmitted by commuters traveling along the Silk Road, with a generous assist from our rat cousins, and their fleas. Nowadays, the greatest threat of pandemics is the enormous scope of human travel by land, sea, and, especially, by air. Every human being is, for the first time in history, one plane ride away from every other human being on the planet.That any karmic consequence may be neutral — rather than necessarily positive or negative — may be a new idea to you. As an instance: if we continue breathing for the next five minutes, we are more likely to continue living. If we stop breathing for the next five minutes, then we will likely die. Whether this is a positive or negative consequence is, again, a judgment call. In most cases, life is preferable to death; but there are exceptions to the rule, which has become more of an issue with the life-extending technology available in modern medicine. The relatively neutral consequence is simply that life goes on, as long as we are breathing. But it may be in a vegetative state.From a general, social perspective, life going on, and increased longevity, is considered a positive consequence, considering the alternative. In that sense, we are all consumers of life. So, the more, the better. From the perspective of Buddhism, we might say that longevity is desirable mainly in that living longer allows us more time, more opportunity, to awaken to the truth. This spiritual awakening is the highest value in Buddhism and Zen. “Buddha” means the “fully awakened one.” A consequence of Buddha's life's work is that we all have now been enabled to become aware of this truth, or Dharma.For example, dukkha, a Sanskrit word usually translated as “suffering,” points to the unsatisfactory nature of this existence, encapsulated as “aging, sickness, and death.” This is the quagmire into which all sentient beings are born, and find themselves enmeshed. The wealthiest person in the world cannot turn back the clock, despite the hopeful claims of the medical and therapeutic professions; the cosmetics industry; plastic surgeons, et cetera. We see caricatures of this aspiration on a daily basis, for instance when certain botox and facelift icons appear on television. Or we see snapshots of the passing pageantry of life in Los Angeles and Manhattan, where women, in particular, as well as men, well into their 50s, 60s and older, strive to age gracefully by maintaining the outer appearance of an ingénue, or a dashing heartthrob. No amount of wealth can prevent some forms of illness, in the final stages of life. Particularly when one's lifestyle itself amounts to a cocktail of causes that accelerate the deterioration of body and mind, such as over-eating, smoking, taking recreational and diet drugs, and drinking alcohol to excess. The lifestyles of the rich and famous are often notorious for this kind of self-destructive dissolution, if you believe the press, which tends to exaggerate.Science fiction to the contrary, no amount of wealth can forestall forever the death of this body and mind, in spite of earnest life-extending efforts in geriatric medicine and cryogenics. The sometimes frantic activities surrounding preservation of life, as witnessed in the Terry Schiavo case, for example, betray a profound fear of death and dying. This fear naturally emerges as a fear of aging, the evidence provided by visible, gradual, long-term, symptoms we see in the mirror each day. Of course, we do what we can, but it is futile to postpone the inevitable. An old Chinese poem includes the line, “Save the body; it is the fruit of many lives.” But we cannot save it in the sense of preserving it forever. Other than as a mummy, which historically has been the fate of some Zen ancestors as well as Egyptian royalty.We who follow Zen do not arrogantly dismiss such fears as baseless. Nor do we pretend that Zen practice will allow us to go quietly into that dark night, though Zen's history is replete with stories of masters dying with great dignity and composure. Zen is not overly optimistic in this regard. It does not present a pollyannaish view of existence, promising a heavenly rose garden after death. Nor is Zen overly pessimistic. We don't bemoan the fact that this existence is, intrinsically, of the nature of suffering, or impermanence, imperfection, and insubstantiality. We don't insist that the natural process of aging, sickness and death is necessarily a negative consequence of existence. It is simply a consequence of existence. And, thus, our physical fate falls into the neutral category of karmic consequences.In this way, Zen is simply realistic about the causes and conditions that we all face in life. Its teachings do not suggest, pretend, or imagine that there could be some other outcome. In Zen, coming to this clarity regarding karma is regarded as a kind of spiritual maturity.We can usefully regard these causes and conditions, the “givens” of the equations of life, as natural koans, illogical riddles. Koans are not to be solved in the sense of finding a logical answer, as I get it. I understand that they are used as a central part of training in the Rinzai sect. In Soto Zen, we don't make programmatic use of the 1700 or so classic koans in the record. But instead we recognize the reality in which we find ourselves, the very spacetime continuum — to borrow Einstein's phrase — in which we are sitting at the moment, whether in the zendo or in the driver's seat, as our immediate koan. This very reality “in front of your face” is the primordial koan. An ancient Chinese poem reminds us: Emptiness here, emptiness there but the infinite universe stands always before your eyes“Emptiness” is used here to name the ideal of Buddhism and Zen: clarity of insight into the dynamic reality of existence. It does not indicate the “void” as the ultimate reality, set against our normal perception of everyday reality as being an illusion. This is not something we recommend obsessing over at full speed, or in bumper-to-bumper traffic. But this infinite universe, standing always before our eyes, is the real koan, the koan of everyday existence. It is the meaning of everyday life that we have to penetrate, whether we realize it or not. There is no choice in the matter. Penetrating to the depths of it may result in realizing that “every day is a happy day; every day is a good day,” another old Zen expression. We should add “regardless” — regardless of circumstance, that is.Most of our conventional cultural memes, as prescriptions for happiness — getting your go-to-hell-money; retiring to a life of travel and playing golf, and so on — can be seen, in this context, as avoidance techniques, evasive maneuvers. This kind of goal orientation amounts to a kind of self-indulgent cognitive therapy, in which we attempt to replace unpleasant thoughts — of failure, indebtedness, and so on — with pleasant ones. In which we attempt to conjure up a comfortable fantasy, in place of our dissatisfactory reality.This is a natural tendency, and actively promoted by the culture, particularly in the West. So we should not beat ourselves up too badly over the fact that we have fallen for this societal scam. Most highly touted concepts of happiness are designed and intended as marketing devices to sell us products and services, as well as alternative lifestyles. Those that most closely match the archetypal American dream come with the highest price tag. But the choices we have are not limited to only those that we think we can afford, within an economic paradigm. Zen is sometimes considered not immoral, but amoral, because it recognizes that we have complete free will at all times, and in every particular situation. That is, as long as we are willing to face the consequences — whether negative, positive, neutral, and unintended — of whatever actions we take. For example, many people are out of work, looking for a job, or changing jobs. The world economy is forcing a re-evaluation of the definition of a “job” as paid employment provided by someone else. A job includes a place of work to which one goes every day, commuting to the office or factory; checking in or punching a time clock, under the watchful eye of management; and after putting in a sufficient effort for the day, returning to the comforts of home. These and other outdated cultural memes, customs and habits can affect our view of reality in subconscious, even insidious, ways.But in our meditation practice, we are encouraged by Master Dogen — founder of Soto Zen in 13th century Japan, to stop the ordinary functions of the mind, setting aside all thoughts of good and evil, right or wrong. It is necessary to point out that this instruction, or advice, is intended to be followed mainly while we are on the cushion. When we leave the cushion, and go into daily life — get into the car, and enter onto the expressway — we are constantly faced with choices of good and evil, right and wrong. We must make judgments regarding the behavior of others, which we cannot ignore beyond a certain point, as well as concerning our own behavior. Once again, in all of these instances, Zen is neither overly optimistic or overly pessimistic. It is simply realistic.So this aspirational idea, that if we could somehow set aside all considerations of good and evil, right and wrong — that we can live blissfully unaware of all the obvious good and evil, right and wrong in the world and thus be happy — is tempered by the pragmatic nature of our Zen practice. Even when we sit on the cushion, we cannot completely avoid suffering, in the sense of the good and evil influences in our lives, and the right and wrong choices that we have made, and that we are forced to make, on a daily basis. The point is that it isour choice. And the consequences that flow naturally from the choice — from the action, or lack of action that we take — are also ours. Whether karmic or not.Some old wise man said, “Through change, consume change.” Change is all there is. But we try to maintain status quo, out of fear of losing control. It is already out of our control.As Ambrose Bierce pointed out in The Devil's Dictionary, what we call an accident is, paraphrasing widely, actually the inevitable result of immutable physical law. So if you become distracted by this podcast, and run into the car in front of you, that so-called accident is the inevitable result of the immutable laws of physics, as well as of the choices you made that led to it. And, while you might have prevented it, if you did not prevent it, still, it was no accident. Your driving in traffic is no accident. Nor is listening to my podcast.So be careful out there. If you consider that the driver of that vehicle that just recklessly cut in front of you may be someone you know and like, who is just under a lot more stress than you are at the moment, it may make it easier to respond to the situation in an appropriate manner, without adding the overlay of anger and condemnation that we reserve for strangers. It may also make you safer in the long run.Once you are safely ensconced back on your cushion, you might remember what it was like when you were on the commute, and come to appreciate your zazen even more.

Were you aware that Terry Schiavo was a Florida woman? Were you aware that "schiavo" means "slave" in Italian? Learn all this sordid nonsense and more on this week's Patreon episode, where we dive into the case and the myriad philosophical messes it inspired.

What does this film, which tells the story of Anna a so called ‘savior child,' conceived expressly for the purpose of saving her older sister's life via stem cell and organ donations, tell us about the conflicted nature of parental obligations in such situations? How does it illustrate Kantian strictures against using people merely as means? How does the case of Kate and Anna compare with historically significant cases such as that of Terry Schiavo and Ramon Sampedro? What roles do such stories play in the world of young adult literature, and introducing teens to difficult ethical issues? Do such works of fiction cross moral lines in capitalizing on such situations?

Episode 32 – Ken Connor Interview Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The goal of Anchored by Truth is to encourage everyone to grow in the Christian faith by anchoring themselves to the secure truth found in the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. Script Notes: (dramatic opening music)(music under voice over) O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, The Book of Psalms, chapter 8, verses 1 through 6. English Standard Version For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. The Book of Romans, chapter 1, verses 16 through 20. English Standard Version ******** VK: Hello! Welcome to another episode of Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. I’m Victoria K in the studio today with Ken Connor, noted attorney, author, activist, and former Chairman of the Family Research Council and the Center for a Just Society. Before we begin our interview though we’d like to take a few minutes to meditate on one of God’s most important attributes – His holiness. We’re going to do that by using a devotional extract from RD Fierro’s book on prayer entitled Purposeful Prayers. This happens to be day number 3 from the 30 day devotional study. ----------- Purposeful Prayers Devotion, Day Number 3, Holiness VK: Well, I think meditating on God’s holiness sets the stage pretty well for days discussion. By way of a slightly longer introduction of Ken, listeners should know that Ken has practiced law for over 40 years and has been at the forefront of some of the most important issues confronting our nation and culture pretty much throughout that time. Governor Bush asked Ken to represent Terry Schiavo in her family’s fight to keep Terry alive. Furthermore, as a former president of Florida Right to Life and two national organizations involved in major cultural issues Ken has unique insights on the challenges facing Christians in America and in our day and time. Also, though he’s too modest to tell anyone Ken was good friends with some of the most important Christian leaders in the last half century including Chuck Colson and RC Sproul among others. Ken, Thanks for being here today to share some of your unique insights. Ken: Thanks for inviting me. It’s always a pleasure to be back in Tallahassee. VK: Ken you’ve been at the forefront of many of the social and cultural issues confronting Christianity in America for the last … well, several years? Ken: Decades actually. VK: Well, long enough for you to not only have been prominent in many of issues at the national level but also long enough for you to form some thought about the major issues facing a culture that many think is abandoning its Judeo-Christian origin. Would you mind sharing a few of your thoughts about where we are today as a nation and as the church within the nation. Question List: 1. You were the first person I remember talking about the dangers posed judicial activism. Do you still see that as a problem in America? Has it improved in the 30 years since you first began talking about it? Or gotten worse? 2. You were also one of the first people to talk about the fact that the life issues included more issues than just abortion. Could you expand a little bit on what you meant and where you see those issues standing today? 3. One of the reasons RD founded Crystal Sea Books was to be a part of reclaiming the arts and entertainment parts of culture for the cause of Christ. He admired the influence that great Christian fiction writers like CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien had on the broader culture through their brilliant fiction and allegory. What do you think about that as a vision? Do you share RD’s concerns? 4. What do you think are some of the most important discussions going on within the broader culture as they affect the church? 5. You were asked to represent Terry Schiavo. Tell us about that. What were the issues involved? What did you learn from that? 6. At one point you decided to run for the Governor of Florida. Tell us something about that. Why did you decide to run? How did the race affect your life and family? Would you recommend seeking public office to other Christians? 7. You have said that it was reading the works of Francis Schaeffer that animated you to become involved in public policy and life. What was it that you read and how did it influence you? VK: Today for our closing prayer how about if we pray that everyone would come to a saving knowledge of the God of the Bible who is our one sure anchor to truth. ---- Prayer for the spiritually lost, radio version. VK: We hope you’ll be with us next time when we’ll continue our discussion with Ken. And we hope you’ll take some time to encourage some friends to tune in too, or listen to the podcast version of this show.

With America's birth rate in decline and increasingly large numbers of people living lives devoid of real connections, Lyman believes that we urgently need more pro-family policies. But though Jonah agrees completely that babies are good, he's less sure about Lyman's proposal of lowering the voting age to zero. Tune in for distinctly nerdy debate, but stick around to learn about the many varieties of natalist philosophy. Show Notes:- Lyman's page at AEI- Lyman's previous Remnant appearance- Lyman: “The Minimum Voting Age Should Be Zero”- Ben Sasse's The Vanishing American Adult- Pro-natal pontification- Marriage and childbearing in the time of COVID- Jonah on how we're turning Japanese- The Remnant with Edward Carr- Jonah on Terry Schiavo

Details, credits, errata: This week Alissa and I watched Dogma, Kevin Smith’s goodhearted, filthy movie about theology and goofy stoners, a film that is very easy to watch but very hard to see! Alissa notes that there’s a YouTube upload and an Internet Archive version, neither of which seem terribly legit but since there’s no way to stream the movie or buy it from the distributor, we do not recommend watching a bootleg version but we also do not have an alternative.Sam mentioned Terry Schiavo, and Alissa mentioned the You’re Wrong About episode on her, which can be heard here.Our theme song is Louis Armstrong and His Hot 5’s Muskrat Ramble, made freely available by the Boston Public Library and audio engineering shop George Blood, LP through the Internet Archive. Dogma is copyright 1999 Miramax. Brief audio excerpts are used herein for purposes of review. All other material is copyright 2021 Sam Thielman and Alissa Wilkinson. This is a public episode.

 It was 16 years ago that the fight over Terry Schiavo's medical care, and preceding years of litigation, brought the issue of disability planning to the nation's attention.  On Tuesday's "The Extra", host Shannon Brinias was joined by guest Catherine Hammond, founder of the Hammond Law Group, to talk about planning for disability, the challenges that arise for loved ones when someone becomes incapacitated, and the options for making sure someone can take care of your financial and medical affairs if you're unable to.  For more information, go to ColoradoEstatePlan.com.  A webinar is being held next Tuesday, June 1st at 2:00, where attendees can get more information on estate planning. 

Terry Schiavo passed away this morning, she was included in today's poll because Neil posted it before she died. Neil says they have run out of cleb nudes, so today it is a nude that is not famous, and the Boone in the Box as a bonus. He plays audio of Moe Howard complaining about Neil, and yesterday's show and poll. Taking calls, and the Rev. Jones got through. Plays a couple of really old bits.

Roberto è stato prigioniero del Covid per oltre cinque mesi. Mentre era in ospedale ingannava il tempo e la solitudine scrivendo. Ha scritto soprattutto per far sapere a tutti i suoi amici come fosse la vita lì dentro, e per gli aggiornamenti sul suo stato di salute. Quello che ci ha inviato è il racconto di una notte rumorosa, tra infermieri che parlano a voce alta, una donna anziana che chiama insistentemente il marito, un uomo che urla e un allarme che suona ininterrottamente. E poi la storia di Terry Schiavo, una donna la cui storia ha segnato un confine rispetto al tema del fine vita: Terry moriva il 31 marzo del 2005, esattamente 16 anni fa, dopo un coma vegetativo durato 15 anni.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/gestionale/hgest.phpI RADICALI, L'EUTANASIA E IL DIRITTO DI CAMBIARE IDEA NEGATO AL MALATOdi Rino CammilleriA proposito del documento vaticano Samaritanus bonus che ribadisce la dottrina cattolica sul fine vita, il radicale Cappato su «Il Riformista» ha ovviamente parlato di «autodeterminazione del malato», diritto che la Chiesa negherebbe. I radicali, costantemente votati alla dissoluzione dei legami e dell'individuo, autoconsacratisi all'eliminazione degli indesiderati e dei non perfetti, godono di un notevole numero di simpatie trasversali. I loro amici sono annidati soprattutto a sinistra, ma anche tra gli orfani di Craxi che si sono incistati fra i berlusconiani. Ciò spiega perché il famoso caso Welby, cioè il tetraplegico che voleva morire, abbia goduto di larghissima stampa, laddove i casi dei tetraplegici che volevano vivere rimasero nell'oblio.Ora, poiché a sinistra si considera una doverosa modernizzazione tutto quello che viene portato avanti dalla punta di lancia radicale, ecco le consultazioni di esperti sul tema del cosiddetto «testamento biologico», allo scopo, si disse, di proteggere il paziente da eventuali comportamenti arbitrari dei medici in caso di perdita della capacità d'intendere e volere. Vennero sentiti specialisti in geriatria, oncologia e trattamento di malati terminali. Ebbene, questi esperti si trovarono d'accordo almeno su una cosa: il paziente non può affidarsi ad un pezzo di carta che dichiari la propria volontà su una sua futura e imprevedibile condizione sanitaria.Infatti, chi può stabilire, in un caso concreto, se una determinata e particolare cura costituisca accanimento terapeutico e non estremo tentativo di salvataggio? Non certo il paziente. E nemmeno il giudice. Ma solo il decorso del malato. Se sopravvive, non è stato accanimento terapeutico. Se muore, lo è stato. In ogni caso, la decisione spetta al medico e non può essere presa da nessun altro. Morale: il cosiddetto testamento biologico è una trovata alla moda, tanto per aprire la strada all'eutanasia propriamente detta, che poi sarebbe il diritto al suicidio ad libitum.Il quale è visto come il punto d'arrivo di una concezione liberale portata al suo esito logico: la vita è solo mia, e ne faccio quel che voglio. Naturalmente, questo liberalismo individualista non tiene alcun conto del bene comune, in base al quale io mi appartengo solo nella misura in cui la mia sparizione non pregiudichi altri. Chi si sottrae al dovere di vivere (che non è solo un diritto) è paragonabile a colui che abbandona il tetto coniugale o non ottempera all'obbligo del mantenimento. O, se preferiamo una metafora sportiva, è come un canottiere che a metà gara si tuffa in acqua lasciando gli altri a remare anche per lui.Non a caso il tentativo di suicidio e l'istigazione al suicidio sono sempre stati sanzionati penalmente. Per restare nell'ambito legale e tornando al cosiddetto testamento biologico, i giuristi sanno che il consenso deve essere «attuale». Infatti, quando si verificasse la fattispecie prevista nel documento, chi potrebbe dire che il consenso ivi contenuto corrisponde alla effettiva volontà del paziente in quel momento? Se quest'ultimo fosse in coma, per esempio, come sapremmo se nel frattempo ha cambiato idea? È giusto inchiodare per sempre qualcuno a una volontà espressa anni prima e in tutt'altri contesto e condizioni?È invece esperienza comune che molti, di fronte alla prospettiva concreta e attuale della morte, rinnegano perfino anni di militanza pubblica anticlericale e chiedono i sacramenti. Dunque, esiste un diritto che supera ogni altro: quello di cambiare idea. Né varrebbe, sempre dal punto di vista giuridico, introdurre la figura del «fiduciario», uno cioè che sia stato abilitato a interpretare la volontà di chi non può più esprimerla. Questi dovrebbe essere stato delegato dall'estensore del testamento biologico a decidere quali trattamenti medici accettare e quali no. Solo che, così, l'autodeterminazione del paziente andrebbe a farsi benedire.Per giunta, si accantonerebbe l'opinione di un addetto ai lavori, il medico, per far prevalere quella di un incompetente, il fiduciario. L'introduzione di questa figura, infine, aprirebbe anche un altro tipo di contenzioso, dal momento che potrebbe trattarsi di personaggio con spiccato interesse personale alla sospensione di ogni cura per il paziente. Lo si è visto bene nel caso di Terry Schiavo, il cui marito aveva oggettivamente un interesse non piccolo nello staccare la spina. I genitori di lei, lo si ricorderà, avevano manifestato una volontà diametralmente opposta. Infine, esiste anche, in diritto, il principio della libertà terapeutica del medico, il quale si vedrebbe impastoiato e, per finire, impedito nella sua attività da inverificabili testamenti biologici, fiduciari dalla contestabile delega, giudici e quant'altro. E si concretizzerebbe il famoso proverbio: mentre gli esperti litigano al suo capezzale, il paziente muore. Ma forse è proprio questo che i teorici del sovraffollamento planetario vanno cercando.Nota di BastaBugie: nel seguente video (durata: 51 minuti) dal titolo "Eutanasia e legge sulle DAT" il prof.

Trip to Chappaqua coming up in just a few days. I appreciate soldiers and Marines who have sacrificed. Now, we have an opportunity to fight. Too many people love their lives and their campers more than they love fighting for righteousness. Violence is at our door. Better to have the old guys fight and die […]

Most Americans are unprepared for the worst to happen—an accident or an unexpected illness that leaves them brain dead, but still alive. That's what happened to Terry Schiavo, a young woman who became comatose after suffering a heart attack in 1990. Schiavo was kept alive by a feeding tube for fifteen years After a highly publicized legal battle, the feeding tube was finally removed and Schiavo died seventeen days later. This protracted battle might have been avoided, if Terry Schiavo had completed a document known as an advance directive. JoAnn Mar explains what an advance directive is and pays a visit to the Wisconsin town of La Crosse, ground zero for the patient autonomy movement.

This week on the Ad Hominem Attack Show we open with the roast of Terry Schiavo , debate quality of life, talk about the Pryor and Brando hook up, talk about #comicsgate , EVS, discuss movies, Bull Maher VS Dennis Miller, read Facebook statuses, #bodypositive Sheer, manscaping, Ryne's final wishes, and more.  @dirtysheer @partyalltheryne @realchrispaugh  adhomattackshow@gmail.com
