Yeah, I can tell the difference. The first is acceptable right now and the second is not.

One other difference is that one is more humane than the other. Guess which one?

It's the patient who decides, or the patient's family depending on the circumstances. At least that's how I would want it.

You probably disagree....which is you're right.


Fair enough. Of course the problem is because of imposition of the moral and religious beliefs of others, neither I nor my family could carry out a humane euthanasia in the event that became necessary. But life’s not fair, so who says death has to be.

Just in case you don’t already have these, make sure you have a living will AND advances directive that describes your wishes regarding advance life support.

I see that definition of "terminally ill" escapes you...

These two parents are some of the bravest heroic people i have ever seen to them.

so do they use a tool to check if the heads are square enough or is it just a judgement call?

GScholz, yes it is happening to Terri, and look at how much press, candlelight vigils, other demonstrations, and court proceedings the issue causes.

They having any of that in the Nederlands?

They effectively condemned thier child to a lifelong misery and suffering.

Already 14 painful operations with no option to live a normal life, ever. Worst part is that her brain is normal so she will suffer just like any other person would with this horrible defect.

She'll be mocked and avoided at school. Adults will stare, other kids will tease her. She'll most likely never end up in a romantic relationship. Her life will be filled with shame and misery, cast out from society. Most people with defects such as that never leave thier homes when they become adults. The pressure of the outside world gets too hard on them.

Many commit suicide later (if they're lucky enough to have ability to do so.)

If my child would be diagnosed with something like that during pregnancy, I'd want to abort it for sure. No question about it.

If the baby grows old enough to be born, it's a horrific tragedy to all parties, mostly to the child itself.
