Euthanasia: April 30, 2006
Cease and Desist Order in Andrea Clark Case - Updated As a patient of St. Luke’s Hospital in Houston, TX, Andrea Clark is in an extremely precarious position. [Update: Please be sure to note the action item below.] Andrea, 54, suffered complications following open heart surgery that left her dependent upon a ventilator and dialysis for survival. Although her motor control faculties were damaged, according to her family, her cognitive abilities were unaffected. On April 19, St. Luke's informed Andrea's closest kin that her medical care would be discontinued in 10 days; an ethics committee decided to "pull the plug" in a flagrant act of (passive) euthanasia. Andrea has insurance and wants treatment. Her current doctor says “no”. Through the efforts of many, the hospital and family developed a plan to transfer Andrea to a medical facility in Chicago, one suggested by St. Luke's. However, shortly before Andrea’s transfer was scheduled to take place it fell through; the second treatment center did not have the necessary means to care for her. Now Andrea’s life hangs in the balance and at any time St. Luke’s could end her life by withholding treatment. A meeting is scheduled for Tuesday to discuss her fate and the possibility of another physician or facility, but there is nothing in writing. Consequently, Andrea’s attorney, Jerri Lynn Ward, is serving St. Luke’s with a cease and desist order on Monday. Here is an electronic copy that was obtained by ProLifeBlogs: [Update: if you fax the cease and desist letter to a media outlet make sure a cover letter with an explanation is provided. The outlets are apparently calling and e-mailing Andrea's attorney, thinking that they got the letter by mistake.] Ms. Ann Thielke, J.D.Note: please help by contacting the hospital to express your concerns and to let it know that its actions are being watched (closely): St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, 6720 Bertner Ave., Houston, TX 77030Also - here is a more general contact list of representatives and officials.

To Him is the source, and Him alone! TODAY IS THE FEAST OF ST. JOSEPH THE WORKER. JOSEPH WAS THE PROVIDER FOR MARY AND JESUS. HE SACRIFICED HIS LIFE FOR THEM. WE MUST DO ALL WE CAN TO PROVIDE FOR THOSE IN NEED ,ENTRUSTED TO US. THE VUNERABLE, THE INFIRMED, THE UNBORN. ALL LIFE IS SACRED TO OUR LORD, WHO MADE US. Posted by: joe ott on May 1, 2006 2:44 PMAt what point do we allow people to die ? "At what point do we allow people to die ? What is the standard that God supplies which would enable an individual to know it is time to stop medical treatment? This is what we are talking about - the decision by a doctor to end a person's life be witholding treatment as well as food and water. Unfortunately, some are claiming to be God by imposing their will on another and deciding that their life is not worth living. This is exactly what has occurred in Andrea's case.
