Sorry to burst your bubble - or disprove your theory.

You didn't. I was referring to people who actually made the decision.

Sounds like your mother made the call here, not you.

Would your decision have been different?

I agreed with my mother's decision, which she made after discussing it with my siblings and me. Apparently, I have to restate this, just so you'll understand: if I had been the one with the legal authority to make the decision regarding my father's feeding tube, I would have told the nursing staff NOT to remove it.

Many who disapprove of withdrawing feeding tubes from patients who are not terminally ill still disapprove of the hysteria, hyperbole, false accusations, meanspiritedness, unchristian attitudes and hatefulness expressed on other Terri Schiavo-related threads. Your comments are reprehensible.
