MERCY KILLING DURING KATRINA

Two nurses and a doctor have been charged with euthanasia during Hurricane Katrina. It appears that patients who were "not to be resuscitated" or in plain words, allowed to die under normal circumstances, were found during autopsy, to have abnormal levels of morphine and another drug. This indicated to the pathologist conducting the autopsy that they were deliberately injected with this lethal combination dose for the purpose of hastening death.

The local prosecutor, as, in my opinion, all local prosecutors, saw a chance to get his name in the paper and has decided to charge these medical personnel with homicide.

I was not there but I have worked in hospitals and I have worked with patients just waiting to die. I cannot imagine taking care of patients in a hospital without power, without air conditioning, without lights, without running water, without supplies, etc............................................................

If normal, healthy people were having trouble coping what do you think the patients that needed constant care and constant medical attention doing.

Logic tells us that these medical people had no other reason to do what they did except to show mercy for a fellow human being. They could have just left them there to die a miserable death, but they took pity on them and allowed them to die in peace.

Yes, they played God as the prosecutor charged, someone had to, God was not paying attention.

The prosecutor wants to put them, two nurses and a doctor, away for life. If God was really listening or if there was real justice in the world, that young prosecutor would not be allowed to do what he is doing.
