Article also says the former president suffers from Parkinson's. I did not know that, but wasn't paying much attention, either.

His son, George W., signed into law the "Futile Care" legislation, after all, which allows a physician to designate someone, against their wishes, and the wishes of their family, as "futile to care" for, and pull their plug against their wishes. How apt it would be if HIS family had to go what OUR family had to go through, when my sister was in Methodist Hospital in Houston.

Murdering bastards ought to get a taste of their own medicine, for once.
