Hilary, Jeanette and all,

Fortunately this Missouri synod luteran pastor doesn't speak for all
lutheran synods amd possibly not all of his own synod members. His
attitude is appalling and smug I think. He rejects those who are alive
in the world known to loved ones and are or could be productive in favor
of unused, unknown, unlive cells. I can not even enter the mind frame he
has,  nor could I ever want summarily to dismiss so many that are in
situations of extreme suffering and pain, knowing the future holds
nothing for them as yet but a promise. You are right hilary to be so
angry-- I am and I do not have pd .. I am angry for you and for all of
you.. some I know and others I do not as yet.  He represents all who
have so little understanding beyond their own experience.  What a pity
that is I believe. One can only hope that  a thunderbolt will come down
and open his eyes to the ones he chooses to ignore.
