Wait till you read the rest, if you haven't already. I can't imagine what it must be like to harbor such hostility toward caretaking. This woman is actually talking about her own mother-- how much she doesn't want to take care of her. She has a suicide pact with some friends to make sure her own life will be taken should she herself ever be incapacitated.When human life, in all states of independence or dependence, is no longer considered sacred all manner of lies can enter the psyche, it seems. When we place ourselves in the position of God all of the ugliness of the world, the flesh, and the devil is let loose. This just reeks of the father of lies, doesn't it?
How silly, how selfish, we become when, all puffed up, we start to think we actually understand all that is important. Surely this woman is depressed. I'm depressed just thinking about what her world view must be like. May the Lord, in His mercy, open her eyes to the meaning of love, the position of man, and the Lordship of God.

Life is sacred!!
This article has been cited in a lot of blogs the last few days but I thought I'd add my two cents.

If both children and the old are a nuisance , how soon will we be determining that those between are too?
Exactly, and how about the disabled?
I read the whole article a few days ago.
Just wait. "We don't want to keep Mom around, sucking up her life's savings. I'm sure she would have wanted us to have fun with her money, rather than use it for her old age care."
Unfortunately, a priest in a city where I used to live made the comment during the Terri Schiavo murder that withholding food and water is a legitimate option when a family might face bankruptcy taking care of their ill member.
I think what is most maddening is those who refuse to connect the dots and ACKNOWLEDGE the slippery slope principle. When the anti-life forces got their way with little concessions, MANY predicted the outcome. Read "Casti Connubii." It's rather prophetic!
