"Are you arguing that terry has a better than 50% chance of recovery? Quote your source."

I suppose to your way of thinking, because she is incapacitated, she should be dead. I disagree.

"Are you saying she is there based on a false diagnosis? Quote your source."

Is she *where* because of a false diagnosis? The only false diagnosis I keep hearing is that she is in a persistent vegetative state or that she is brain dead.

"Are you saying she wants to linger at death's door? Quote your source."

She wouldn't be at death's door if not for a judge giving her the death penalty, for no crime whatsoever.

Are you saying she wants to be starved to death? Quote YOUR source. And skip the rubbish about what her adulterous husband said.

In post 593 I Covered what I had said would make me want to be dead instead of "Lingering at death's door" I submit that PVS is as close to dead as you can get, and not BE dead. 50% chance of recovery and six months are MY criteria for my own life. you stated that I had violated my own argument by living. I am just applying my criteria to her, and I am being consistent. As for the facts of whether or not she said she wanted to die, the courts don't agree with you.

Some times it is cruel to be kind.

I asked the Doctor why he told me the paralysis was permanent, he said it would have been cruel to tell me anything else because the odds were 99% that it was.

It is cruel for you to insist that she be kept here, in that state, if it is indeed against her wishes.

All I am objecting to is the MASSIVE political campaign for something that should be very personal, and reverent.

If she made the decision, it should stand, if not may G_D have mercy on Mike's soul for he will be a murderer.
