With many surgeries behind me, and living with pain every day, I am objecting strongly to the video on Global 16x9 "Taking Mercy" because of the one sided portrayal of this issue.<br /><br />1) This video continues the trend of de-humanizing us...then we become marginalized...then we will be considered for "mercy killing"<br /><br />2) People with disabilities are tired of the other side focusing on the perpetrator and making society feel empathy for them, instead of the victim of the murderer.<br /><br />3) People with disabilities are tired of how Robert Latimer and his ilk emphasize it as "only the religious zealots" that are standing up against the legalization, skirting the issue as a religious argument vs. everyone else. The reason people with disabilities are standing up with such passion and committment is because they know if it is legal, they will soon be next. We have rights too! We must be protected by Canadian law...we, the vulnerable. (many without a voice)<br /><br />4) People with disabilities are not a burden, but a blessing to society in many different ways. We celebrate life, and we fight tooth and nail to keep to keep it that way. We need a voice.<br /><br />Steve dictated this letter to me, Joyce Fisher. I am also very nervous about the direction our country is going in terms of Life issues, and values. I have problems with the way the disabled are not given a voice when this issue is debated. People talk about them, but not to them.<br /><br />Yours sincerely,<br />Joyce Fisher<br />Sent by Doug Currie on behalf of Joyce and Steve.<br />Steve can be reached by phone at 905-529-9689Doug Currienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-79926990178724948112012-03-22T01:10:34.742-04:002012-03-22T01:10:34.742-04:00Global Television airs eugenic euthanasia 16 x 9 T...Global Television airs eugenic euthanasia 16 x 9 TV program Taking Mercy really shocked me. I was so shocked to see this programmed that I can't stop my eye tear. We never expect such things happen again. Thanks for sharing this post.Joseph Troyhttp://antennaperth.com.au/noreply@blogger.com
