Karen Weber to be Evaluated by 3 Doctors to Decide Her Fate

Posted on | June 18, 2008 | No Comments

Karen Weber will be evaluated by three doctors to and they will make recommendations to a judge as to whether she lives or dies. Dr. Stephen Alexander is one of the three. He states in a Toledo TV interview:

“My job is to go and see the alleged incapacitated individual to determine if they have any disabilities, infirmities, diseases, or defects which hamper or impede their ability to exercise their rights as an adult.”

Does this mean that varying levels of disability equate to varying levels of personhood? I don’t think so. We are human and are given basic rights because they are God given. Karen deserves to live because she is a human being made in God’s image. When we allow finite humans to determine when those weaker than them can live or die (without biblical reasons for capital punishment); we violate God’s law and diminish the value of all of our lives.

What do you think?
