Canada's Schiavo Case? Samuel Golubchuk's Fight for Life

The following article can be found in Jewish World Review. I encourage you to read the whole article. This case is an outrageous example of how the Culture of Death has influenced medical thought:

"In Canada, the Schiavo case with an outrageous twist"
By Jonathan Rosenblum


An elderly Orthodox Jew is on life support. His children have adamantly opposed his removal from the ventilator and feeding tube, on the grounds that Jewish law expressly forbids any action designed to shorten life. If their father could express his wishes, they say, he would certainly oppose the doctors acting to deliberately terminate his life. The director of the ICU told the children that neither their father's wishes nor their own are relevant, and he would do whatever he decided was appropriate. . .

Be sure to sign the online petition to save Samuel Golubchuk. The family is also in need of funds to help pay for lawyers. You can get more information and send a donation by visting the Samuel Golubchuk website.
