Well, they obviously know, don't they? So rather not even trying, they're just going to let her starve.

I don't support removing the feeding tube because obviously she has had some cognitive responses, is not comatose, and is not brain dead.

It is not up to us to judge the quality of life for another human being. She may never be "normal" again, but she IS alive and should not be killed.

Mind you, this has been going on for 13 years. Her husband has been trying to kill her for 13 years. He tried denying antibiotics when she had an infection, but the doctors said that would kill her and they gave them to her anyway.

This is inflammatory rhetoric, and I will bow out of this discussion.

You seem too emotionally involved with this case to consider the possibility of a valid opposing viewpoint.

There are people of good will on both sides of this issue, and if my brain cortex were dead, I'd rather have my wife remove any feeding tubes.

That's just my opinion, but I respect yours.
