Boy in "hopeless" vegetative state awakens and steadily improves...
"And I repeat again to all clergy in My Son's House: you shall not
rationalize sin. Abortion is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without
repentance! Euthanasia is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without
repentance! The Commandments of your God must be followed, and no changes will
be made upon them to suit the basic fallen nature of mankind." - Our Lady of
the Roses,
November 20, 1979
LifeSiteNews reported on October 10, 2006:
A young boy, who had previously been diagnosed as being in a “permanent
vegetative state,” has awakened from a 22 month-long coma and is breathing on
his own.
Devon Rivers collapsed in a seizure during a phys-ed class in 2004 and his
condition was never explained, though some doctors suggested it was caused by
an unknown viral infection. Doctors agreed, however, that he had little hope
of recovery.
His mother, Carla Rivers, visited him regularly and, in addition to
physical therapy by his paediatric nursing home to keep his limbs supple, she
talked to him in the belief that coma patients can retain their hearing and
some understanding.
"For two years the doctors said there was no hope," said Carla Rivers.
"Everything that happens in Devon's life is a gain. There's no losses."
Despite the doctors’ gloomy prognosis, eleven year-old Devon is now being
prepared for occupational therapy to help him re-learn motor skills and is
able to play with his siblings. Doctors cannot explain the reason either for
his unexpected awakening or for his steady recovery.
In August of this year his mother, Carla Rivers, noticed that he began
turning his head to follow movement; instead of a blank stare, he was reacting
to his environment. Days later Devon was breathing without a respirator.
Carla Rivers said, “Devon may make a full recovery or what we see today may
be what we get…God's plan is greater than ours. There's nothing we can do to
force it any sooner or hold it back,” she said.
Coma patients and others with severe cognitive disabilities have been
labelled “hopeless” only to recover frequently enough that some doctors and
ethicists are questioning the accuracy of the diagnosis of “persistent
vegetative state” (PVS).
The diagnosis is ambiguous in that symptoms of patients can vary greatly
and still be called “vegetative.” A 1996 study published in the British
Medical Journal showed that 43% of patients diagnosed with PVS do not qualify
for the diagnosis.
In 2003, Kate Adamson, a former coma patient who had been diagnosed PVS,
appeared on the television talk show the O'Reilly Factor. She said that, like
Terri Schiavo, the hospital had removed her feeding tube that was only
reinserted after eight days when her lawyer-husband threatened to sue the
hospital.
There are four sins that cry out to Heaven for Vengeance
(extreme punishment):
1) Willful murder.
2) The sin of Sodom.
3) Oppression of the poor.
4) Defrauding the laborer of his wages.
Euthanasia, abortion, physician-assisted suicide, mercy
killing, and homosexuality cry out to Heaven for extreme punishment on the
United States.
Many people are ignorant of the Church's teaching regarding
ordinary nursing care towards extremely ill or terminally ill patients. The
Church states that "decisions about these patients should be guided by a
presumption in favor of medically-assisted nutrition and hydration” and that
for patients, even in an irreversible coma, "all care
should be lavished on him, including feeding."
Pope John Paul II, March 20, 2004:
The Holy Father emphasized that water and food, even when administered
artificially, are "a natural means of preserving life, not a medical
procedure. Therefore, their use must be considered ordinary and appropriate and
as such, morally obligatory."
The probability that there is little hope for recovery,
"when the vegetative state lasts longer than a year, cannot ethically justify
abandoning or interrupting basic care, including food and hydration, of a
patient." Death by starvation or dehydration carried out "consciously or
deliberately is truly euthanasia by omission."
The Pope recalled the "moral principal according to
which even the slightest doubt of being in the presence of a person who is alive
requires full respect and prohibits any action that would anticipate his or her
death. . The value of the life of a man cannot be subjected to the judgement of
quality expressed by other men; it is necessary to promote positive activities
to counteract pressure for the suspension of food and hydration, as a means to
putting an end to the life of these patients."
Bishop Henry
Gracida (interview
with Barbara Kralis) "Some Catholics would argue that they are simply
following their conscience and that the Church allows them to do so. They choose
to forget that the Church says that one can only safely follow an INFORMED
CONSCIENCE, i.e., a conscience that has been formed and illuminated by the
teachings of the Church. The Church has given clear and explicit guidelines
regarding the removal of a feeding tube through which 'nutrition and hydration'
is supplied to a sick person.
"All persons who wish to remain in communion with the
Catholic Church, to receive Holy Communion and the other Sacraments, must assent
to the teachings of the Church in matters of faith and morals.
[3] "If a person supports euthanasia and
assisted-suicide through the illicit rejection or removal of a feeding tube,
they are not in communion with the Church. They have separated themselves from
the Church."
Pontifical Council on Health Affairs, “Cor Unum,” June 27, 1981:
“On the contrary, there remains the strict obligation to continue by all
means those measures which are called ‘minimal’, which are intended normally and
customarily for the maintenance of life (alimentation, blood transfusions,
injections, etc.). To interrupt these minimal measures would be equivalent, in
practice, to wishing to put an end to the life of the patient.”
Pontifical Academy of Sciences, October 1985: “If the patient is in a permanent coma, irreversible as far as it can
be foreseen, treatment is not required,but all care should be
lavished on him, including feeding... If treatment is of no
benefit to the patient, it may be interrupted while continuing with the care
of the patient.”
U.S.
Bishops, Nutrition and Hydration: Moral and Pastoral Reflections: ”Therefore we are gravely concerned about current attitudes and
policy trends in our society that would too easily dismiss patients without
apparent mental faculties as non-persons or as undeserving of human care and
concern. In this climate, even legitimate moral arguments intended to have a
careful and limited application can easily be misinterpreted, broadened, and
abused by others to erode respect for the lives of some of our society’s most
helpless members. In light of these concerns, it is our considered judgment that
while legitimate Catholic moral debate continues, decisions about these
patients should be guided by a presumption in favor of medically-assisted
nutrition and hydration.”
New
Jersey Catholic Conference, January 22, 1987: Another pertinent statement regarding the nutrition/hydration debate
was given by the New Jersey Catholic Conference on January 22, 1987 in a
friend-of-the-court brief entitled, “Providing Food and Fluids to Severely Brain
Damaged Patients.” This document was in reaction to the Nancy Ellen Jobes case
pending at the time before the New Jersey Court:
"The [New Jersey Catholic] Conference maintains that
nutrition and hydration, being basic to human life, are aspects of normal
care, which are not excessively burdensome, that should always be provided to
a patient. Nutrition and hydration are clearly distinguished from medical
treatment. Medical treatment is aimed at curing a disease. Nutrition and
hydration are directed at sustaining life. Medical treatment is therapeutic;
nutrition and hydration are not, because they will not cure any disease. For
that fundamental reason we insist that nutrition and hydration must always be
maintained....” (Origins, January 22, 1987, p. 583)
"No man shall murder--and it is
murder, My children, when he shall give the excuse of saying an individual is
no longer living or a part of the world because he has become emaciated,
because he lives only with prayers and the help of all scientific means."
- Our Lady of the Roses, June 5, 1976
"Who will be
safe in your land, My children? You will one day grow old. Will you be a
burden to your family, to be removed without heart? When you grow sick, you
are ill, will you become too much of a burden to your society and they will
remove you?" - Our Lady of the Roses, March 25, 1972
The awesome
Bayside Prophecies...https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
EUTHANASIA “The time will come, My child, when those who are upon the earth will envy
those have passed beyond the veil. Insanity, sin. Sin is insanity. The aged will
be put to death, the crippled will be put to death, the mentally ill will be
eliminated. The value of life will be gone. The value for life will be
destroyed. Murderers! Sanctioned among those with the power to destroy the
souls!” – Jesus, March 18, 1974
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
"No man shall murder--and it is murder, My children, when he shall give the
excuse of saying an individual is no longer living or a part of the world
because he has become emaciated, because he lives only with prayers and the help
of all scientific means. The Eternal Father has placed a soul in that body. That
body is the temple of the Holy Spirit! No man can know when that soul must
return to the Eternal Father. No man shall hasten its exit from a body by
murder! Euthanasia is murder! Shall you become a judge over the living and the
dead?" - Our Lady, June 5, 1976
CONDEMNS
TO HELL
"And I repeat again to all clergy in My Son's House: you shall not rationalize
sin. Abortion is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance!
Euthanasia is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance! The
Commandments of your God must be followed, and no changes will be made upon them
to suit the basic fallen nature of mankind.
"The road to Heaven, My children, is a narrow one; too few stay upon it.
For they are often carried away with the cares of the world, and the pleasures
of the materialistic pursuits, and their gathering of money and prestige and
power. For what? For the few short years allotted to each human upon earth. I
ask you to ask yourself: is it worth it to lose your soul? Many will sell their
souls to get to the head." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979
START AND
EXPIRATION OF LIFE
"The Eternal Father is much distressed by mankind's actions. They must not try
to control the start and expiration of a life. Abortion is murder, My children,
for you bring to an untimely end a mission of a soul. The Eternal Father
breathes the spirit of life into the body at the moment of conception. No man
shall destroy this body until it has completed its mission as directed by the
Eternal Father, for any man who destroys the mission and the body is guilty of
murder. Euthanasia, untimely death, My children, man has transgressed into a
form of evil far worse than in the time of Noe or Sodom. Therefore, how great
shall be the punishment to mankind!" - Our Lady, June 12, 1976
GREAT CHASTISEMENT
"My child and My children, the murders of the unborn will bring great
chastisement upon the United States, Canada, and the nations of the world, that
are now contributing not only to the delinquency of your children and the
world's children, but are condoning murder and euthanasia. Euthanasia, My child
and My children, is murder!
"We have been very patient. The Eternal Father has voiced His decision
within My hearing, and I tell you, My children, your chastisement is just at
hand." - Jesus, July 1, 1985
DOCTORS OF THE EARTH "I have, O woe to man, this saddest of
stories: one of man against man, brother against brother, mother against
daughter, father against son, in the battle of the spirits. Now, O poor aged and
helpless, poor on earth, you will now be victims of your own. Doctors of the
earth, what have you done to yourselves in your practices? You do not seek to
preserve life, but to destroy.” – Our Lady, March 18, 1973

sacramentals, and protect your children and your households. Learn the use
every day of holy water throughout your household. Insist even with
obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day
they will understand that they will repel the demons."
On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of
these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the
knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard
your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity.
Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your
