Now here is an interesting thought in this thread. If this was taking place 50 years ago, before we had these great stride in keeping a cvs person functioning, and Terri died, the god squad would have stated that "Terri was called back to god".

I would have to imagine that she would never have been lying around in a bed for 13 yrs. She would have been long buried and life would have gone on.

Move forward to today, just because medicine can keep the body functioning, now god is not ready to take her. The god squad's next salvo will be god has help us in medical science and this is his will....so, if we go along with this reasoning, I guess the god squads are accepting of cloning a human being...

The problem for Mr. S

A medical calamity occurs and Mr. S. ends up in a hospice, having gone through almost exactly the events as has Terri Schiavo to date.

Unlike all the other patients, Mr. S. is not terminally ill.

Suddenly this very evening, an electrical fire breaks out in the hospice. It spreads slowly.

The staff believe that they have managed to rescue all the patients, but they have missed a few, Mr. S. among them.

The fire is still not serious, but the smoke is great enough to keep people from returning to the building.

The fire department arrives. They prepare to enter the building, to try and locate the remaining patients, so the staff retire from the scene, except...

Attorney George Felos is there and state that "do not rescusitate orders" stand for all the patients.

Yet a nurse, upon hearing him, and who knows that Mr. S. is in there, yells from farther away, "Mr. S. is in there, and he is not a terminally ill patient, there is no 'DNR' for him!"

Mr. Felos ignores her and tells the firemen that there is now no need to risk their lives. They hesitate.

A flash explodes from a side window of the hall where are the remaining three patients; one of the screams.

The firemen know that scream, the patient is being burned alived.

What should they do?

Obey the judges and "do not rescusitate?"

Or do their duty to preserve life?
