Ok,
Here's my post in response to
THIS I need to get it out, so bear with me....can't stand the article about this
loser. Yes, you heard me...LOSER! There, I've said it.
Anyway, here's my answer:
My dad died from stomach cancer after two long, LONG years...it ATE him from the inside. But I never once thought that his treatment was a waste. He fought to the VERY last.
Quite frankly, I don't believe the father is in the right. I feel he's a coward and I think the concept of denying his child treatment would be out and out murder. Perhaps he should grow a backbone and live up to his responsibility to his child. He's lucky the government has stepped in so that he doesn't have to live with the thought that he murdered his child.
Don't get me wrong, I understand anguish...very well in fact. My dad lost 70 lbs in one month and he basically starved and died of thirst right in front of our eyes. It was slow and horrific to watch. By God we stood by him when he needed us and didn't put him down like an animal. Or worse yet, stood by and did nothing. We didn't deny him his medical requirements because we couldn't handle it.
I'm really disgusted with that person. That makes me so ANGRY at him. Coward. It's a sad day when someone else has to take care of your loved one because you can't deal with the issue at hand. The parent is causing the anguish in this little scene and if he's bent out of shape over it, he's only got himself to blame. And if he's causing his kid anguish, then that's his fault too.
Sorry for being so vehement.
Did I mention I feel this guy is a coward? Or a loser? Living La Vida Loser? Thank God MY dad loved me.
