Snoofy,

"Twenty five year old "daughter."
Not a person in her own right."

What in the world are you talking about?

The word "daughter" has nothing to do with her age.

If she had lived to 100, she'd still be his daughter.

Even when she is gone, she'll still be his daughter.

Snoofy,

If she was married, she would still be his daughter.

And in fact the father would now have a son-in-law.

(don't come back with "what if she married a woman")

Alex,

"talk about missing the point."

Apparently so.

Alex,

I can't read the article.

I could research it but I'd rather someone explain it.

Seems to me the father tried to stop her daughter from being killed, I guess, by the hospital.

Alex,

"his daughter"...I mean.

Alex,

I see now. People are upset the father is wanting to override the assumption she wanted to die.

jpw,

"Are you really so dumb you didn't get his point?"

Has nothing to do with being dumb.

It should be rather obvious I would not think along those lines right out the gate.

I mean...there's "pulling the plug" to take someone off of life support.

But in this a case they actually had to kill her since they used the word "euthanasia".

jpw,

She requested assisted suicide in April 2024.

What took them so long to kill her?

I've said more than once religion and government (law) don't always mesh.

Some people seem to think they should if it suits your need to use one to support or defend the other.

As a Christian, I believe it's wrong like I also believe abortion is wrong.

However, on a practical level, I disagreed with overturning Rowe V Wade.

And, again on a practical level, I'm not opposed to the idea of assisted suicide.

But I also understand the father who wasn't ready to lose his daughter.
