Yes, and like I said if the opposition to zerocare had any cajones, the entire fiasco that is zerocare could be stopped dead in its tracks.
But that would mean that rinos would have to vote to defund zerocare. Will never, ever, ever, happen.
I think you and I have a different view of selfishness and abuse.
I said that I would not agree to a feeding tube for somebody I love. To me that would be cruel, inhumane and selfish.
Let's agree not to name each other in a medical POA. :)
My dad was buried 25 years ago today. I had had to make the decision to not put him on life-support.
When an ultrasound showed "somethimg ?" around my mother's liver and the doc called to have more tests, I said that if she had something I didn't want to know until it caused her a problem because I didn't want treatment that was worse than anything she might have...at her age and with dementia.
Pain management was always my first concern with my parents and I have never regreted those decisions. I wouldn't want to be kept alive just to prolong my life. I'm not afraid to die.
I realize all that, but you assume that the governor of a state has the authority to overrule a husbands decision as to the medical treatment of his wife.....I don't think so.If you can, give me one example where this happened....I still don't think so.....
Timewasting non sequitur.
A feeding tube is not machinery. Any more than giving a baby a bottle is being kept alive by machines.
nonsense
Which question are you whining about? I don’t really have time to keep entertaining a jerk who thinks my husband should be starved and dehydrated to death. I’m a little busy keeping him alive at the moment. My free time is scarce, and I’ve wasted too much of it on you already. I generally avoid your type these days. I try to stay in a good mood, for myself and my husband. So I generally surround myself with people who don’t wish death on people like my husband. So if you’re feeling any guilt about the way you’ve treated your parents, don’t turn to me for comfort. I don’t have time for it.
That is the most absurd comment. Until ...

Bless your heart.
No, not really. You were suggesting that a marriage license gives rights of ownership, up to and including the right to take the life of a spouse. That would be a bill of sale, not a marriage license.
What a stupid comparison! Apples to oranges.
No, you made the comparison. YOu said that keeping a person alive via feeding tube administered nutrition is keeping them alive “by machine”.
DOn’t worry, everyone except your fellow ghouls sees that you want disabled people murdered and that’s that.
Excellent comment.
“She’s my wife, I get to order her execution/murder”.
Are you saying now that you didn’t mean anything you said, or that you’ve changed your mind? You’ve wasted all day, arguing in favor of killing people whose lives you have declared futile, and now you hint that just maybe that’s not your position. Or do you mean it’s absurd that I don’t have an infinite amount of time to waste on you? Do you really think it’s absurd to have positive people in our lives? I know what you mean by your last remark. Real Southerners say that when they mean it, sometimes after saying something negative, but always when they genuinely mean “bless your heart.” Morons who hate southerners use it to mock real southerners, when they really mean “go to hell.” You’re an imposter, in more ways than one.
murder is not medical treatment, the state has done plenty to stop husbands from murdering their wives
Terri wasn’t on any machines hello
that’s you. Terri wanted to live, see?
See what I mean? You don’t agree that disabled people should be killed, so you must be stupid. It’s already an established fact that their lives are not worth living. You’re holding up the entire class with your stubborn refusal to embrace lesson number one.
terycarl, you are just plain wrong, wrong, it was a murder that jeb bush could have prevented but he pissed away until it destroyed the entire Republican party along with the individual Terri Schiavo
