Katrina "Euthanasia" Murder Indictments
I thought this would turn out to be an urban legend, but one doctor and two nurses have now been arrested for second degree murder, apparently arising out of their alleged intentional overdosing of patients in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. I am not ready to draw any larger lessons from this episode about euthanasia advocacy or what has been called the culture of death. But we should watch these cases closely to see what the defendants have to say, if anything, about their alleged criminal conduct.

Winston Jen,
We don't know whether or not they would have died through neglect. Further, that does not justify intentionally taking the lives of these people, if that is what happened.
You also misread Louisiana, in my opinion. Its citizens are among the most pro-life in the United States. I doubt that jury nullification will happen in this case in that particular State.
I say we don't prejudge the case.
Oh, baloney.
winston jen, not all prolife people believe it's OK to kill 'homosexuals'.
I'm a lesbian and prolife.
I suffer from an autism spectrum disorder. If you kill me you will spare me suffering (because life is suffering) but if someone come after me with that poison shot I'll smack him with a ball peen hammer
You say it's wrong to kill people without their permission--- are you saying that the possible euthanasia victims gave their permission? Do you have evidence to that effect? If you do, CNN will want to put you on TV.
