Double take
Today, January 18, the Boston Globe reported that seventy six year old Clarence Ray Allen, "California's oldest condemned inmate, had asked prison authorities to let him die if he went into cardiac arrest before his execution, a request prison officials said they would not honor.
'At no point are we not going to value the sanctity of life,' said prison spokesman Vernell Crittendon. 'We would resuscitate him.'"
Did I just read that?
Well, it is a comfort to know that the culture of life would spare no expense in order to do the job right.
