That decision did not affect this case because Hannah Cement is fed by a tube.

I believe that all human life deserves equality and respect, including Vincent Lambert and Hannah Cement." From Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director - Euthanasia Prevention Coalition. Keep on working hard Alex and your team for the sanctity of all human life. This must have been a horrible death for Vincent and for his family to see it. Instead of just letting him die naturally. Interesting that Pro-life advocates often note that in many jurisdictions, starving and dehydrating a pet animal is a crime.

If you specify that you want food and hydration until a natural death, can the medical establishment still euthanize you? Also, what if you don't have anyone to represent you. Who do you get to present your end of life instructions?Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01209454374660656569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-52120739140958257902019-07-12T12:33:28.704-04:002019-07-12T12:33:28.704-04:00Call it what it is: willful murder.
