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.

There we have it. You are willing to err on the side of death. I am not.
Happy trails.
