She played the TV character with the distinctively high, soft voice on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. She was also a regular in several other TV shows running through 2018. Actually, she died on April 12, 2019, about 7 months ago. Nobody knows why she died. She didn't tell anyone she was sick and she didn't go to a doctor. She was a Christian Scientist, a Faith that abhors doctors or any other medical practitioners, medicines or facilities. She stayed home and entrusted her fate entirely to the Will of God, as her religion dictates.
Christian Scientists let their children die all the time when they could have been saved/ It's a religion of murderers.
Then do you think they should be rounded up, charged with murder, and thereafter processed in our criminal justice system?
Yes, I do. A person's religious rights end the moment they do harm to another person. A parent who lets their child die from a treatable disease, regardless of their religious beliefs, should be charged with first degree murder.
We lost Valerie Harper, Ted Knight, and of course Mary, but Gavin MacCleod, Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman and Betty White are still around ,of what I submit, was the best ensemble cast of any sitcom in television history. Never saw such consistent quality in performance over every episode one of the 168 episodes in 8 seasons on television. As for Engels, well she was just as impeccable as the rest of them. Can't imagine anyone else playing the role of Georgette. She also has multiple credits on the stage and the big screen.
She had every right to make her own decisions, even if that meant no Dr. Lord knows, Drs kill enough thru malpractice.
... because they're "murderers" ... Did you know medical errors are (2016 data) the 3rd largest cause of death in the US, resulting in nearly 250,000 deaths at the hands of doctors in 2016 alone? By comparison, for all time up into the 1990's, the Christian Science church has been charged with only 50 cases of child deaths consequent to its religious beliefs. (According to Wikipedia, there are less than a million CS practitioners in the US, down from 8.3 million in 1956.) https://mymedicalscore.com/medical-error-statistics/ Do you think CS religion should be completely snuffed out in favor of a quarter million deaths per year due to medical errors? Do you also believe parents should be charged for crimes if they allow their children to: -- eat too much sugar or have other dietary habits associated with degradation in health or obesity? -- play contact sports that could result in concussions and/or broken limbs and other possibly permanent injuries or even death? -- ride bicycles on streets?
She made it to 70, and probably lived a more peaceful life than most who make it to 90+ hooked on an array of pills, and put out to die in a nursing room home. I suspect she was a burden to none and a blessing to many. God bless her soul.
