You’re a doctor who watched the Schiavo case with interest, wondering how you too can legally starve your patients to death? Well, now you can study up on how to commit murder without forfeiting your freedom while soaking up sun in the Bahamas. As a bonus, you can also earn continuing education credit — and, for all I know, perhaps write off the cruise on your taxes.
"The assisted suicide advocate [George Felos] who was Michael Schiavo’s lead attorney during the legal battles with Terri Schiavo’s parents will be heading up a ‘euthanasia cruise’ during the first week of January. Doctors and attorneys who participate in the Caribbean cruise can earn continuing education credits by learning more about the medical and legal tactics that can be employed to end patients’ lives.
"Felos will be one of two faculty members leading a program called the ‘Advance Directives/End-of-Life Care and Neurology.’ Those participating in the five-day cruise will leave January 3 for the Bahamas, according to a North County Gazette report [sic, it’s North Country].
"James Barnhill, a physician and longtime partner with Felos in advocating euthanasia, will assist in leading the courses.
"In 1998, Barnhill saw Terri for 10 minutes and told Circuit Court Judge George Greer that he believed she had no chance of recovery. That claim was later refuted by other doctors and experts on caring for incapacitated patients but Greer allowed Michael to take Terri’s life anyway."
It’s stuff like this that make me wonder if hell is going to be a sail on a lake of fire with happy, smiling people plotting to create hell on earth–Michelle.
During the evenings guests will be invited to vote on which passengers enjoy the lowest quality of life. Leave your infants and elderly family members at home!
The cruise line for the Death Cruise is Holland America. I’ll be e-mailing them to let them know they’ve lost my business.
E-e-e-e-w-w.
At least there is the Catholic Answers apologetics cruise to provide balance.
Some day…
Makes sense. Dying at the hands of a skilled euthanasist (aka “murderer”) would really be the ultimate in “relaxing”. Just let all the energy flow from your body until even the strength it takes to make your heart beat drains away.
Just a small reminder that life was meant to be, to a certain degree, uncomfortable. It is one way we can remind ourselves that we are still alive. It is one way to remember we have a God who loves us enough to purify us in this life…
The US should declare it a pirate vessel and issue a Letter of Marque.
For that matter, Vatican City ought to. Well, the repercussions would be nasty, but it would be glorious.
