"Choice" Now Extends to Born Children, Too

Im curious if many of the people you deal with in working for Hospice are scared of dying? I would imagine they are, I have heard alot of older people claim they are scared of dying, mainly because no one knows exactly what happens and that alone is enough to frighten most, a fear of the unknown, even the faithful would have some degree of fright, death is something new that they have never experienced, and they know they cant ask anyone for help in this regard, as no one can go with them.

Yes the fear is always present - one of my goals when I do go is to take thier mind off the situation if only for an hour or two which can bring great relief to the person - everyone is a book with a story to tell - you get the person to tell their story and they remember the good moments of their lives and you see them smile as they remember those moments - and I must say I am very honoured that people would share those moments with me - I go to try to comfort them - it does not always work out that way and I can come away very disturbed myself - each person is differant - and not everyone will want to interact with you and I do get rejected which I cannot take personally or I could not do it.I have come to the belief that this is my gift by Gods grace , not my oun doing , some how i heard the call and was able to answer. How can I ever stop now - could you? This is my lot in life and i am greatful for it or I would have nothing - it a great gift from God and I am so very greatful - Like today in the Gospel I was the bad son and God called and welcomed me back with great joy. My gift from God for doing this is I get to forget about myself if only for a few hour and what a wondeful gift that is- I hope you can understand that. It is better to serve then to be served that is what I have learned - I have a long way to go to where God wants me to be - I hope I make it and will trust in the Lord - because I could throw it all away in a moment.and have in the past - but God keeps calling - its nice to know God loves you that much. - sorry I. droned on

This is truly tragic. We’re retrogressing back into pre-Islamic arabia, where it was a common practice to murder female infants by burrying them alive (the pagans believed that they were a source of bad luck). Being a female is not the same thing as being sick, but still, if the infant was allowed to live, the parents would’ve been put through constant ridicule and the girl would’ve been scorned by her family and society. Was killing her the merciful thing to do?

We have a responsibility to take care of the sick and even to visit them; killing them is the lazy [and immoral] way out. Man wants to play God.
