[quality of life is a sliding scale. quality is in the eye of the beholder. What if the judges decide your current quality of life is poor enough to warrent your demise?]
Did anyone else hear the caller on Fox and Friends this morning who was a nurse at what I believe was a nursing home type facility? She was for removing the feeding tube and made a comment about how bad it was that the video of Terri watching the balloon was being shown over and over. She said Terri had been a pretty girl and to see the way she looks now was horrible. She even made a comment to the effect that she couldn't image how upset Terri would be if she suddenly woke up to find that had been played on TV. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
I was trying to get ready for work and when I heard that I had to stop for a minute and wonder just how shallow people have become. These are probably the people they are polling about this issue.
Good thing that nurse isn't on the committee that determines what "quality of life" is, or she would pass a death sentence on all those who don't meet her criteria for "pretty". That is what you end up with within the postmodernist construct of not having an objective standard for truth, which is a shifting standard based on subjectivism and whomever happens to have the reigns of pwoer at the time determines what that shifting standard will be. It is precisely that kind of Neitzche extentialists philosophy that produced nazism.
