Should We Legalize Mercy Killings?

Love What Is It GrayUntil today I have never heard of dignity dying.

As I sat in silence watching the below video of a mother discussing how she put a pillow over her dying son’s face, I wonder about her choice. Upon later reflection, I asked myself could I aid or not aid one of my children in suicide.  Especially, since, at this point I’m not face with such a difficult situation.  And even if I tried to put myself in such an awful place I will always have the same answer.

One would think my strong faith in God and my belief “thou shalt not kill” take precedence over a person’s dying wish such as taking a life.  But I honestly believe I’m wired to respect life.  And God’s instructions just solidifies what I believe naturally.  But, I do, with a humanitarian frame of mind understand why this mother helped her son do the task of suicide.

Please understand, I’m certainly not in a position to say she was wrong.  She was a mother.  She was faced with a dilemma.  And she acted in thoughts of kindness by ending the suffrage of her son [period].

I Gotta New Cookbook Titled: The Southern Foodie

The Southern FoodieSo far I think I want to make the Oven Rice Dressing.  It sounds so gooddddd!

Well the recipe calls for the following:

1¼ pounds ground beef, browned and drained
1 (10 ¾ ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 ¾ ounce) can onion soup
1 beef bouillon cube, crushed
½ cup chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
½ cup chopped green onion
1 teaspoon no-salt hot sauce
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice

Preheat the oven to 350. In a large bowl combine the ground meat, mushroom soup, onion soup, bouillon cute, parsley, green onion, hot sauce, and rice. Mix well. Place in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. This dressing can be used as either a side dish or a stuffing.

Now don’t this recipe sound good!  If you have this book and haven’t stumbled across the recipe you can find it on page 101.
