Leslie Burke

A guestblogger from over The Pond writes:

I would like to bring to your attention the case of Leslie Burke, a Brit who is fighting for the right to live.  Mr. Burke has a degenerative brain disorder and knows that in the future he will be incapacitated to such an extent that he will be unable to request the basic neccessities to maintain his life, ie; food and water….I wonder if you would be interested in blogging about this as my humble blog doesn’t get too many visits and I would like for people to witness this marvellously positive public hail for recognition of the value of even a ‘suffering’ and incapacitated life…particularly in light of the tragedy of Terri Schiavo’s murder.

No prob! I hope folks will read more about Mr. Burke’s case, and I hope he fares better than Terri did.

I also invite folks to STOP BY YOUR BLOG.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
