Return Justina Pelletier to Her Family!

The Issue

Justina Pelletier and her parents have been separated for almost a year with minimal visits being allowed.  As one story puts it, "she is TRAPPED" in Boston's Childrens' Hospital. 

There is no reason, including clinical, as witnessed by her private psychologist, whose care she has been under for years.  The bottom line is that her return would be the right and moral thing to do.

The fundamental question here is, What would you do? What would I do if this was you or me? When we answer this question, perhaps it will help guide us towards doing all that we can, the least of which is to sign a petition.  Remember, this all too true adage:

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men (and women) do nothing."      ~ Edmund Burke
