"You can sit an discuss the issues of the day with a quadripelegic, they still have some fine motor skills, they are aware that they are here.Terri Schiavo does not have any of these things. Nice reach( a dang long reach given the circumstances)....but no cigar. YOU were the one who said because she couldn't feed herself, she is "dying"... I gave you examples of other people who can't feed themselves, and now you're changing what you said. So tell me, back up your position that Terri is 'dying'.

Yup, SHE is. Quadrapilegics are totally different in the respect that they are still cognizent of their surroundings and can talk, you can take a quad to the mall to go shopping and they can tell you that they would like to have those new reeboks,or maybe stop in at spencers gifts to buy a new whoopi cushion, but Terri Schiavo could have those new reeboks on her hands and it would never register on her.
In plain speech, a quad is still a functioning person, Terri Schiavo is an end table.
Her case is totally different, and I challenge you to find a quote by me that says she is "dying". I said she is already dead, her body just remains.
I never changed what I said, you tried to change what I said to fit your point of view.
Nice try on the "you would like to kill all the quadripelegics" angle tho....
