Doctors are not God

On February 11, 2010
Laurie Favreau, Janesville

To the editor:

One of the readings this week (Jeremiah 1:5) said, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.”

Moral decisions on life are not between a woman and her doctors, for doctors are not God.

We need a new message. Do not trust in your doctor alone. Have hope and faith. Trust and pray to our merciful Lord and God.

Doctors cannot perform miracles; only Jesus can. Moral decisions on life are between the mother, the father, and God.

Laurie Favreau, Janesville
