Court Rules Baby’s Life Support Removed Against Parents’ Wishes

Death by euthanasia - that appears to be the new reality in Canada. Capital punishment for criminals has been long abolished. Yet the courts don't mind handing out death sentences for innocent people, for the elderly, the handicapped and the babies, whose lives they find unworthy of living:

LONDON, Ontario, February 17, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - One-year-old Joseph Maraachli of Windsor, Ontario will have his life support removed Monday at 10 am. after the Ontario Superior Court today rejected an appeal by the parents to bring him home where he can die under their care.

A leading anti-euthanasia advocate says the decision facilitates a system where doctors are authorized to force life and death decisions on patients, warning that this is, in fact, far worse than the “death panels” recently debated in the U.S. as part of the federal health care law.

“Monday at 10 am they will kill my baby,” Moe Maraachli, Joseph’s father, told LifeSiteNews shortly after the ruling. “There’s no more humanity. There’s no more chance. I’ve tried everything for him. No more appeals, nothing.”

“I asked them: why not send him to Windsor and let him die at home?” he continued. “They said they will give him injection, but I don’t want to.”

“I ask God, and maybe he breathe,” he added.

Interestingly enough, the hospital refuses to perform a tracheotomy, because they find it "risky" but they see nothing wrong (or risky) with just removing the baby's life support. Not to mention the lethal injection. This growing contempt to human life, that started with legal abortion over 40 years ago and that has evolved into a court-ordered euthanasia, sickens our healthcare system to far greater extent than shortage of doctors, nurses or funding.
