I am very, very sorry that they starved your brother to death. My heart goes out to you, ###, and I pray God will send you His holy angels to comfort you and to minister to you. As sorry as I am to hear this, I can't say I am the least bit surprised. Atrocities like this are going on everywhere now. The reason? We are now a culture of death. And how did it all start? What made this snowball begin to roll down the hill and to gain such incredible momentum? Legalized abortion. That simple. You don't respect life from the moment of conception, then you don't respect life at all. You especially don't respect the helpless, the infirm, the ill, the crippled and disabled and the elderly. Instead of caring for them and loving them, you kill them. And that is the mark of a society on its way out. Never fails.
I don't know if you remember the story of Terry Shiavo. After years of wrangling in court, a judge finally decided to order this woman to be starved to death. The same people that were going in her room every day to water her plants, were strictly forbidden to give this woman so much as a medicine dropper-full of water. Armed guards stood by her door to make sure nobody would sneak in and reinsert her feeding tube.
My point is that this kind of thing is going on everywhere now -- hospitals, nursing care facilities, hospices. It's all the same same. Some places, you still get excellent care. Other places, you will live until your health insurance runs out or until you become a big drain on Medicare. In the case of hospice, it is very sad. Hospices were set up so very sick people could die with dignity, out of pain, and surrounded by their loved ones. Hospice was designed so the patient's last days could be filled with love, for reconciliation of the dying one with friends and family and so that the dying one could make peace with God. I believe some hospices still do this. But I also believe some literally murder patients, like they did with your brother. I also believe even though what they did was illegal, soon it will become much more out in the open and will eventually be legalized.
I want to make something clear -- If a person is dying and in severe pain, it is not morally wrong to give them enough medication to keep them totally out of pain, even if doing so causes the patient to overdose and die. But to deliberately overdose a patient with pain medication or to starve the patient -- That is murder. That simple.
Anyway, I am very sorry for your loss and for what they did to your brother. He now is with Jesus with no pain and no suffering and only joy beyond our wildest imaginings. May God bless you and keep you, ###.
