There are a lot of disabled people who have G-tubes including Terri.

For the rest of their lives, in spite of their liklyhood of becoming healed? Who makes that choice? If she had signed a living will, would we have this discussion now.

I don't egg; I ask hard questions of partisans of any stripe.

No you don't. You ask easy ones, leading though they may be.

You have been provided with simple answers repeatedly.

Yes. There are those who will have a G-tube for the rest of their lives, but that doesn't include the future now does it? It's very possible that things could change in that arena in the future now isn't it? Living wills were not a big thing back then esp. for people of her age range. Under the U.S. Constitution, etc. we are already guaranteed Life, Liberty, and Happiness. I fail to see what your questions have to do with Terri's parents being told they have to pay to see their daughter.

I'm going to ask you a hard question, and I expect a response, since you want answers from each of us. Of course, if you don't, then I'll take that as an admission of not having an answer.

Do you think that if God deemed that it was Terri's time to die, that there would be any thing man could do that would keep her alive? In other words, do you think man could ultimately trump God's will to take Terri home with Him?
