No, of course not... the answer for you and your ilk is always, death.<br /><br />Or, perhaps you subscribe to the idea that,<br /><br /><i>"If the state really wants to carry out the extermination of these or at least of some mental patients, shouldn't a law be promulgated, which can be justified before the people - a law that would give everyone the assurance of careful examination as to whether he is due to die or entitled to live and which would also give the relatives a chance to be heard, in a similar way, as provided by the law for the prevention of Hereditarily affected Progeny?"</i><br /><br />You're living 69 years too late, and in the wrong country, Herr Brett.<br /><br />You are a beautiful example of someone who is doomed to repeat history... that is <b>ignorant </b>!Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714372264395999409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20534374.post-1234215578575653022009-07-28T08:02:10.258-07:002009-07-28T08:02:10.258-07:00I am stunned but not surprised.

Most careproviders are trained for patients such as those you've described, most have nurses on hand (so many per patient required by FEDERAL LAW) and have doctors on call 24/7. The people I've worked with have had the proper threapists available to them as well. I've read a few of your blogs and it seems that you are a very judgemental, narrow minded, unresearched person. For that, I pity you.Tara Maureenhttp://www.myspace.com/taramaureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20534374.post-29104596674282306722009-07-22T20:31:45.409-07:002009-07-22T20:31:45.409-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.brettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20534374.post-3288364814591855962009-07-22T20:21:08.295-07:002009-07-22T20:21:08.295-07:00Brett, you really are one sad and sorry individual...Brett, you really are one sad and sorry individual.M.

If you had taken a few seconds...Dear Tara Maureen,<br /><br />If you had taken a few seconds to read the articles from the website you would know that these individuals need specialized care. They need round the clock nursing care. Many require tube feeding and are on a variety of medications. They routinely experience seizures and most are almost completely unable to communicate.<br /><br />They will die in a group home. And that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a group home is a good place or not. I'm sure there are many wonderful group homes where individuals live rich and fulfilling lives. However, the patients at Seven Hills will not survive such a transfer. <br /><br />Please try not react so defensively and think for a minute about what is really going on. This article has absolutely nothing to do with you or whatever glorious group home that you work in. <br /><br />With your specialized information perhaps you can share with us ignorant mortals how many people in group homes are tube fed, completely unable to defend themselves against other residents, unable to communicate and seizing constantly? How many nurses, doctors, orthotists, speech pathologists, physical therapists and occupational therapists are on staff at your average group home?<br /><br />MaryM.

I've worked in many and I can tell you they get a bad rep. Many of the people who work in group homes are capable, caring, and compassionate. Your narrow views of group homes are revolting. Stereotypes such as yours make my job a million times harder but a million times more worth it.Tara Maureenhttp://www.myspace.com/taramaureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20534374.post-91275631378951414152009-07-22T19:27:01.913-07:002009-07-22T19:27:01.913-07:00Unlike Terri, these individuals did not have the o...Unlike Terri, these individuals did not have the opportunity to express their wishes about life and death.
