One son wants her to live, the other wants her dead. Please sign the petition!
From LifePetitions
Arline Lester is recovering in a New York hospital
after having one of her legs amputated. And, 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." [Click HERE to WATCH the video].
Not only that, but 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! [Click on this link to see another video of Arline speaking.]
Nevertheless, seemingly because of a family dispute over Arline's
future care, her life now hangs in the balance. A Nassau County (NY)
court is currently deciding on whether Arline will live or die.
And, the brutal truth is that disconnecting Arline's feeding tube will lead to her starvation and death.
This is wrong! This is savage and cruel!
This joint petition, with 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.
This great birthday gift came just at the right time, because the Nassau County courts are now deciding Arline's fate.
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.
Let them know that you stand for life, not death. And, please pray for Arline and all patients in a similar state.
Thank you!
**This petition will be hand-delivered to the son who wishes to care for Arline, Ed Lester.**

However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
