How about this MT, we don't practice euthanasia in this country until we decide on a humane way of doing it. Is that so much to ask? Why should a chicken being slaughtered for KFC be treated more humanely than this woman?

The same people who are squawking about the "inhumane" removing of feeding tubes are the 'zact same folks who would never allow any kind of gentler method.

Hellya Tweets. It would be much more humane to inject her with whatever. We just lack the scrotalbearings to do it.

So we are in agreement that this would not be an appropriate job for congress.  It's just as inappropriate for them to try and circumvent the judicial branch in the Shiavo case.
Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence, fear, ignorance or stupidity, because there are millions more garden variety idiots walking around in the world than there are blackhearted Machiavellis.

Well great - we're all on the same page and agree this barbaric method should be halted immediately and work on a constitutional ammedment addresing humane euthanasia.

This woman should NOT be starved to death.

Why didn't the Congress spend their time last night making that law, instead of the one that intruded into a single case of it?

They don't give a rats arse about that. In fact the medical and insurance lobyists would be screamin' bloody murder and be yankin' back the campain donations faster than you could blink.

So we've stepped back from logic and going to go to psychic readings now? Maybe its YOU who don't give a rats bellybutton about life. Maybe they DO.

Right... What you're sayin' is "logic"?

It's been emotional hysteria.

You're gettin' played.

No living will = error on the side of life.

I wouldn't want to live like that. My WHOLE family knows this. I have a living will. No DNR. No living on breathing machines. No living if I cant on my own basically.

It's a tough call. Hubby seems a bit nuts IMO. I just cant get behind letting her die (starving or any other way) if nothing is wrote.

Family is willing to help her , and stuff , so I would have to say let them decide. Her Hubby has obviously "Went on with life" and should leve her be.

I think there is more to what is in it for him than we know. Could be a big reason he wants her gone now. Maybe he has exhausted all he can out of it and wants the rest of what is behind the scenes to just go away.

I don't know really. I have tried to sort of watch what has been happening with it. Really a tough call.

No argument again eh Nash? But that wouldn't stop you eh? Just post and post and someone might think its a point.

You are the one claiming to know why conrgess has acted. I think you are wrong and ther is no possible way to inteligently claim its grandstanding. MOST people in this country respect life and *dont* believe doctors are infallible.

Oh, I've made arguments in this thread, Tweety. You don't like them I guess.

I posted a pic of what's left of Terri's brain, and your response is "All these people who so greatly respect the cerebral cortex would go nuts if someone stomped a chicken to death."

Wha?

And you want to compare her to puppies. I can respect people's point of view, but yer being such a chick about this. 'Nuff with you.

yeah science breeds ignorance.... You make all these accusations about those of us who think she deserves the right to die it blows my mind where you are coming up with them. Probably rush limbaugh.
