The right answer by the President, sympathy and care but caring enough to say no.
I am all for people controlling their lives (and the end of life). But as bad as CF is, there is hope for a few more years. Don't cater to despair.
I think back on Dean Barnett (who blogged with Hewitt at Town Hall) and his long fight with CF. He was a good man and I miss him. He was married and fought to the end.
Dean Barnett RIP
She is so young.
Were the young lady to think about it some, I believe she would eventually come to realize that a life is like a garden, perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.
Hats off to the President for at least showing up to see the young girl.
