Recent Case ...

Recently the Life and Hope Network received a call from a young man in his 20s.  His fiance'e experienced an asthma attack and went into cardiac arrest two weeks prior to him contacting us.  Physicians initially diagnosed her as brain dead and she needed a ventilator to help with her breathing.  According to the young man, physicians re-diagnosed her after she began to show signs of improvement.

     Despite this, her parents asked physicians to remove her from the ventilator, with the understanding it would lead to their daughter's death.

     The physicians were wrong.  When her ventilator was removed, she began to breathe on her own and at that point, was only being sustained by food and water (via feeding tube).  According to her fiancee there were times when she was attempting to communicate.

     In spite of the signs of progress this young woman appeared tube making, and the desperate pleas from her fiancee, her parents made the decision to remove their daughter's feeding tube and she was subsequently administered morphine and Ativan.

     We received a message just recently, letting us know that this young woman had died.  Just one more example of how euthanasia is being practiced every day.
