That is a troubling attitude, in my opinion. <BR/>A human life should not depend on the ability of its advocates being able to "endear" themselves to those who hold the power to end it. Only the facts must count! <BR/>Just to soothe you all, I am actually a caring person, volunteering to assist relatives of critically ill patients while they are waiting for the recovery -- or its alternative -- of their loved ones. And I do understand that there is no grief worse as one's own. But that does also mean that the person next to me feels that way. <BR/>So, if Vernon has suffered childhood traumata, grief, pain and sorrow, it was as horrible to him as anyone's pain can be.UnderCoverAnnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13998708547261370724noreply@blogger.com
