Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel. Perhaps you do sometimes have to allow people to die. But I am not comfortable that this is one of those cases. God help us all to keep this from happening again..
"First you kill those who want to die," forewarns the American Catholic ecumenist Dr. Bill Cork. "Then you kill those whose family wants them to die, then those where one family member wants them to die, and then those whose families want them to live. Finally, you kill those who want to live but who get in the way of the state."
