I can't understand why so many people want to keep someone like that around. Let her die, she's not living naturally, and would have died if you didn't put her on those damn machines. For all real purposes she is dead! (Before literally dying, that is)

My neighbor kept her husband alive for several years on life support machines. The guy couldn't talk, or move, or do anything. He had to have a tube stuck in his throat and the mucus cleared out by this machine, or he'd choke to death. It was a miserable existance. I can't understand, even the slightest, why anyone would want an unresponsive relative, or friend to go on living like that.

this was the topic of the new south park last night, they finaly took kenny's feeding tube out.

, it seems like torture to me to keep someone like that
someone else probably sees it different but i know i would'nt want to keep a family member like that

But Kenny had to save Heavan, He was like Keanna Reeves! LOL

I have mixed feelings about this whole case. On the one hand, I can see why people would want to let her die. If I was in that situation, I'd rather be left to die rather than going through all that pain and aggravasion.

Unless....I was showing positive signs of recovery. Which, is apperantly what Terry was starting to show. Also, there never was a living will, and her parents were the ones trying to keep her alive. There was also rumors of foul play when it came to the husband and his motives. So, i don't know. There's a lot more involved i think then just someone wanting to die.

i dont know about recovery, i thought the whole thing was that damaged brain cells cant be repaired. her brain lost to much oxygen to ever be the same

i want one of those golden PsP's :D lol

No, she was not. That was a lie fabricated by her parents. The movement she was showing were just involuntary reflexes. Her parents are evil people. They're trying to pain the husband as a murderer. They are about as trustworthy as Vladimir Putin.

Now comes the battle over the funeral arrangements. :rolleyes:

This story just won't die.

No kidding. Hopefully the gov't won't weigh in on this one.

We'll probably have the National Guard keeping watch over her corpse and riot control people outside the church...

**** Michael Schiavo.

It is a sad situation. But none of us know what her true dieing wishes were. The whole thing that really pisses me off is the ****ing protesters outside Hospice. Do you think she was the only one there? That place is meant for people to die in peace. But the ****ing public made it a point to loudly protest for one person at the wrong place. What about the others that were there? How do you think the other families felt when they came to see their passing loved ones. How ****ing inconsiderate! It shouldn't be their goddamed business, get a life and worry about yourself. If they stuck the tube back in her, all the protesters would have forgotten about her and found something else to go and ***** about. Hospice is a wonderful place, ran by very caring people. Why cant people these days be a bit more considerate and less nosey. All those protesters belong in hell.

Nature should be allowed to take its own course without interference from others. Only at the point of free will can someone make the decision to end their life. That is solely left to the descretion of the person who's life is at stake. A person like Kevorkian, is acting in what I deem as being socially responsible. He recieved the other end of a mutual agreement...and satisified the terms of acceptance. Which was to end thier suffering.

How in the hell, can someone who is re-married, decide as to the life of his ex-wife. What motives does he really have? In my opinion, being pro-life, is the only acceptable answer to these types of scenarios. President Bush had to put his 2-cents into the matter, regardless if he were to create more bipartisanship between the right and the left. That was not IMO a political move, but was an extention of the values he has. Good ones.

You do not kill unborn children.
You do not kill invalids without their direct or written consent.

god damn it.
