This paraphrased from this week's Newsweek (Perspectives section):
Before he was recently executed by the state, Clarence Ray Allen, the 76 year old blind and deaf CA inmate, had asked the prison to let him die if he went into cardiac arrest before his execution. Said Prison spokesperson Vernell Crittendon: "At no point are we not going to value the sanctity of life. We would resuscitate him".
I think they are all effing NUTS! (To say nothing of the colossal hypocrisy). But I'm really curious. Anyone disagree?
