Okay--I laughed!
But I admit I find it hard to laugh on these threads--it just isn't funny to me. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people who are disabled by brain damage, maybe tens of thousands with feeding tubes--do we starve them all? Or just Terri? If just Terri, why? If she has loving, willing family as caretakers, why?
On Scarborough Country last night on MSNBC, Joe interviewed some childhood friends of Terri. One thing that was said, and repeated here was that MS was VERY controlling.
BUT THE BIGGER thing I heard was that one of the people (not sure whether it was a man or woman) said that their marriage was very bad, that Terri wanted to move out AND that the night before her "heart stopped" she was at her parents, who told her to stay the night at her place.
THE NEXT DAY she was "found" by MS, face down (?) on the floor.
Sickening, absolutely sickening.

Can you imagine, for example, all the people on this thread being armed and in the same room?
"There are probably hundreds of thousands of people who are disabled by brain damage, maybe tens of thousands with feeding tubes--do we starve them all?"
Is there a reasonable time to keep a tube in?
