If you did this to a dog you’d have the humane society asking the prosecutor to indict you.

Horrific. Can you imagine what Obama’s “ethicists” have cook up?

Buddhists for eons have believed that the dead continue
to hear as they begin the death experience. Prayers and
guidence is said repeatedly into their ears for a time.
Works for me. “O Nobly born, what thou art experiencing
is the void blissful and shining...”.

We’re rapidly becoming a very inhumane society. Killers. But what the heck! It ain’t ME! ME! ME! ME! That’s what it’s all about! ME! ME! ME!

Horrifying I’ve always thought that someone who is alive even if on a machine, has some awareness of what’s going on around them.

Dignity...demands care!

The semi-conscious will be second to be brought before the death panels, right after the elderly.

somehow I doubt that anyone who pulled the plus or advocated pulling plugs will feel bad when they see this. They will deny it, they will justify what they did anyway they can.

What they did to Schiavo was sick, depraved. They wanted to kill her, but didn’t have the courage to do it in the least painful way possible. And no, I don’t support her killing.

I should post the photo I took a few weeks ago when our son was in ICU. He wrote more than once, “Feed me!” He lost 36 pounds in three weeks in ICU. The “nutritionist” would not bend regarding the number of calories she believed he needed. They also went from him being on constant fluid IVs to nothing but tube feeds with inadequate calories. Son could not speak, but he could write. His begging for food was very difficult to take as a mom. :(

You mean "cooked up for us", right?

Some say it’s too expensive to support these bedridden citizens, but yet the govt will hand out trillions to perfectly healthy individuals too #ing lazy to support themselves.

Why do they do this to “vegetative” patients such as Terri Schindler? Why not just give them a shot of chloroform?

Try and find a liberal who actually cares. Diogenes had an easier job.

Yep, if we’d stop supporting illegals and crack ho’s/joe’s with FreeS#!t, we’d have no problem supporting our elderly, disabled and veterans in the manner which they’ve respectfully earned.

A segment of our society has taken it upon themselves to deny the humanity of those they deem unworthy.

If you deny a fellow human's humanity and get away with it, you can do anything you want to them.

We have an incredible challenge before us.
