Genetic Secrets of Man's Best Friend Revealed. Apparently, we have more in common, genetically speaking with dogs than with mice.

Brought to you via imlac, a very interesting euthanasia case. It's a new, more conflicting "right to die" case. It's not only intriguing from the moral conflicts involved, but my goodness, this poor girl was completely and utterly screwed all her life.

Consider:
-Haleigh Poutre's stepfather beat her to a persistent vegetative state.
=Haleigh's body was covered with burns, cuts, and bruises when she was hospitalized after being beaten with a bat.
-Haleigh's mother was separated from her when she was 4 due to allegations of abuse.
=Haleigh's guardian and maternal aunt, and Strickland's(the abusive monster) wife, was shot in a murder/suicide along with Haleigh's grandmother after she (the aunt) was accused of abusing Haleigh.

For Haleigh's sake, I hope there is such a thing as reincarnation, because this little girl got sooo ripped off. And now her stepfather is trying to ensure she remains on life support so he avoids being tried for murder.

So, will the right-to-life(less) group is confronted with a conflict: allow a child to die, or let a despicable abuser get off on lesser chargers.
