Awesome Rick. This is what I want to see more of-people researching possible candidates for POTUS in 2008. This is, for me, one of the most important things people should be focusing on.

Awesome, Rick.
Another part of this issue is...the insurance companies input. THEY do have a huge say in what infants are allowed to die. Trust me on this.
Babies who are born without the brain really present a tough choice for everyone involved. They usually don't live very long even with life supports in place.
If they have even a small segment though, they can live for many years, and with therapies they can exist in a semi-coma state. Is this life valuable? I don't have the answer to that. And I'm not the one to ask...only the parents should answer it. Like you say, so many chose death.
Spina Bifida is no where near the same. These babies can grow up and live a good life and even become useful to society. Yes, they need supports and nursing/medical care. I work with several SB children and young adults. The older ones hold down jobs.Who answers for the one who stands to lose it all?
Unless this person has a strong advocate, NO ONE speaks for them. It is often the nursing staff who speak up at facilities where they house many of these people. And even then, they tend to turn against life as well. (Depends upon how hard the work is with the patient, I hate to say...)We (society) make ourselves feel better by rationalizing our reasons for allowing infants to die.
We place a higher value on the life of others by deciding that if they aren't LIKE US, they wouldn't want to be alive. Who are we to do this?
Tough stuff...but we need a checks and balances system in place to make sure we aren't condemning innocent people to death just because they are inconvenient to us, to the nurses, to society.

I read some article about this a little while ago..and rolled my eyes just thinking about how KOS and his fellow cave dwellers would react.

I WILL BE SUPERHAWK NO MORE FOREVER
Hey Rick...doesn't it feel good to come out of hiding? I feel like I went into hiding when I started blogging; I have been online for so long I thought everyone knew me. LOL. I don't have anything to hide so I may get back to being ME as well.

IRAN FORCING SHOWDOWN OVER ITS NUKES
Do you think Israel will take out these nuclear reactor plants? I bet they will. Like they did to Iraq years ago. It seems to me it would be in their best interests. And the worlds.

COMING SOON...9/11: THE MINI-SERIES
I'de like to see a 9-11 movie that shows how people reacted to the attacks...the fears and tears. The anger that many of us felt, not towards our government but towards the Islamafreakoids who did it. I have tape after tape of the news coverage of those days, me and my daughters watched...it serves as our history.

Something we will never forget, and no movie will change our perceptions and feelings of that day.
FRANCE TO TAIWAN: SUBMIT OR PERISH
France supports war efforts so long as they have a financial stake in it.

Hey Superhawk...very good post. What you wrote here should be our kids' history books.

I'm glad we made a difference. And I know we did.
