So seriously, you are saying you think that woman was right to kill herself for a pie-in-the-sky idea? What is unacceptable is how her rights superceed the rights of the children. It's just...she has the right to do what she likes, the children can run to hell for all I care  |
I don't think she
was right, but I think that you don't have the right to tell her what to do in that situation.

House was bashing some guy's religion while the guy was on his death bed with only hours to live. He was talking solice in his beliefs and accepting his fate believing that he would go to a better place, and House began ripping on it to his face. House eventually killed himself (for like 90 seconds) to see for himself if there was something on the other side. He never said whether he saw something or not, but the way the episode ended made it seem like he saw something.

The children will question it someday.

And he will probably tell them that their mother passed away from a hemorage (or whatever it was) and that she is with God right now watching over them, (or something to that nature). There is no single place where all blame can be placed. If she allowed the BT, she'd have lived (part her fault), if he allowed it, she'd have lived (part his fault), if she never got pregnant, she'd have lived. If, if, if... there are hundreds of factors that lead up to the situation, maybe if she was in better health she would be fine. Maybe anything...
