Parents with children having terminal illnesses have indeed considered hastening their child’s death, once it was clear that nothing more could be done.
Of course, for a parent to admit this is only natural and healthy, but unless they have access to a doctor who’s not a complete neanderthal, it’s very difficult in this country to arrange a more merciful death for a child who is suffering.
Time for the Supreme Court, ever vigilant in supporting the right to death by firearms, to allow parents in such circumstances to unlock the gun cabinet and blast away, much quicker than having to appear before “death panels” and other canards of the right-wing nutosphere!
Gorilla says, somewhat in jest: “Our society is infantile, so why shouldn’t the Supremes encourage the right to infanticide, as part of a well-regulated parental militia?”
