My son included...you, Normally a Lurker don't have a clue about which you speak. By all means make that assertion and your will be known by writing it down or tatooing it on your chest. But how dare you speak on the behalf of others.
Terri didn't write it down nor was there a law at the time she made her "alledged" comments to Michael and "his" family that the judge allowed for dehydration and death by starvation. IMHO, the judge erred here as well. Applying a new law that was written well after the "alledged" comment was made by her.
I wouldn't want to be disabled like my son nor Terri, but if by God's will I was, I can surely say I wouldn't want to be starved and thirsted to death. We therefore wouldn't do it to our son or our worst enemy. Just cruel and utmost inhumane way to treat anybody! Our son smiles often and is quite content in his simple but loved life. He is a blessing and has positively touched hundreds of peoples lives without saying a word. How many of us have that kind of testimony?
BTW, last week we had a stray dog show up on our property, the dog was severely malnourished, bones apparent all over. The first thing my children and I did was get some water and food for the poor thing. This all happened while Terri was starving, not because she didn't desire to be fed or drink but because people around her were barred from doing what would be natural for them to do, nourish her.
I challenge you to go for 3 days without any food or liquid, half the time Terri did and report back to us your honest experiences. Then maybe we will have something to discuss further.
You challenged me to try someting for three days - and to then report back to you.
Did you ever think of living like Terri for 15 years - and then report back as to whether or not you feel the same.
