A conscious and alert 91-year-old woman's life now hangs in the balance.
Nassau County (NY) courts are now deciding on the fate of Arline Lester, who is recovering in the hospital after an amputation.
Although Arline's recovery has been difficult (she is connected to a
ventilator and a feeding tube in order to help her get stronger), she is conscious and alert.
AND, when asked, repeatedly, by one of her sons if she wants to live, she mouthed the words: "I want to live."
Nevertheless, seemingly because of a family dispute over Arline's future care, her life now hangs in the balance.
The brutal truth is that disconnecting Arline's feeding tube will lead to her starvation and death.
This is wrong!
This joint petition, between LifeSite and the Personhood
Alliance, sends the clear message to Nassau County (NY) courts and to
her hospital: Let Arline Live!
Though Arline has been bed-bound for some time, and had lost the use of speech, on New Year's Day, 2020, Arline celebrated her 91st birthday...AND, she started speaking again!
Responding to her son's friend, Arline clearly indicates that she is not in pain by shaking her head 'No'. And further responding, Arline can clearly be seen and heard saying, "Thank you," in video taken in the hospital.
Arline has also recently been evaluated as mentally capable of
making her own decisions - to update her living will to reflect her
desire to live!
So, we now ask you to send this clear message to the Nassau County
courts and to Arline's hospital, to respect her desire to live, and to
be cared for by one of her sons.
The very same leftist coalition that took over the New
York Senate last year and passed the radical “Reproductive” Rights Act
is the same that is seeking to legalize euthanasia.
Let them know that you stand for life, not death! And, please pray for Arline and all patients in a similar state.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition.
Yours faithfully,
Scott Schittl and the whole Team at LifeSite
