Specifically in relation to the post below (read that first, come back here) I am sure a lot of people will think “yeah, but if he knew that situation firsthand, he’d think differently”. <\/p>\n
I DO know that situation firsthand, and I do not think differently. <\/p>\n
Four years ago, when I had only been in this home a year, I had several trees cut down. My close friend Mike and his co-worker Dan came and helped me deal with the firewood- dozens of cords of it. This was the first time I met Dan, and from the first moment I liked him, liked him a lot. See, Danis one of those guys like me, does a lot of stuff for a lot of people, and frankly, does more than he should for most.<\/p>\n
Not long after that, dan fell at work. he suffered severe brain trauma. He is in nearly perfect health. He will always be cared for, for the rest of his life. He lacks the capacity to use a bathroom. Each and every one of us that know him, want him not to suffer, see dan-but-not-dan, and wonder why.<\/p>\n
But none of us have any desire to see him dead. He is a human being. Yes, it’s hard, yes it’s tragic. Yes, it’s our responsibility as humans to see to it that he’s cared for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
