Of Cucumbers and Bacilli

Dr. John Mark Reynolds has some interesting commentary on a Fox News report titled, "Michael Schiavo Blasts Jeb Bush".

Reynolds also comments on the World Magazine Blog, "Not a Vegetable" regarding Kate Adamson, a woman who suffered a double brainstem stroke in 1995 and was completely paralyzed and recovered, who spoke at a March 12th rally for Terri Schiavo.

Dr. Reynolds states, "People declared "vegetables" (what does this even mean?) can recover." Exactly.

What does it mean? It means that if society can give undesirable people a label that redefines their humanity, then we can kill them. They are somehow less than human. Life unworthy of life.

Hmm, sounds vaguely familiar.
