The only reason I told you about my family is because of the non-stop holier than thou attitude of some people on this thread. Can you honestly tell me that you would want to lie there like Terri Schiavo, having strangers take care of your bodily functions, seeing your family when they have the time to come and see you, and that's assuming she even knows who they are, which I don't think she does. I DON'T THINK THAT IS COMPASSION. I think that is very cruel. And that's where we differ. Since you are a Christian, don't you believe that your spirit or soul goes on after you die? So why do you want to keep her soul imprisoned in a body that doesn't work, in a mind that doesn't work when she could be set free. That is a serious question. 71 posted on 02/25/2005 2:40:18 PM EST by Hildy I could give you many posts by her along these lines. Sounds like someone who thinks the 'kind' thing to do is kill her to me.
But you'll have to peruse her posts yourself. It's easy enough to do.
I MUST go to bed...lol...
This is no different than your interpreting her wish that
they would use an OD of morphine instead of starving her as a wish to kill her.
Again, this isn't as simple an issue as y'all want it to be.
I and others agree with her statement completely, and still think the tube should remain, for one reason or another. Just as many of us agree with this one:

For the last time, I have never said I wanted to see her dead. I think that if there is no written consent that she should be released to her parents and they should take care of her in their home with their own money. That is what I said. Would I want to live like that .... NO. I hope everyone takes this opportunity and puts their wishes on paper. But I don't think Michael Schiavo is the villain you all think he is. And I think he is doing what he thinks is the right thing and everybody is following the law.

That took me 30 seconds to find. Maybe before you judge and "punish" people, you should look a bit deeper and avoid reading more into things than what they're actually saying.
