Not all the Freepers. The first post I saw on this (when I was viewing "Latest Messages") was from somebody who supports her right to die. That's what drew me to this thread. I thought there would be compassionate people here. I was right about that to a certain extent, but I'm surprised so many people want to force her to stay hooked up to something she said she didn't want.
"I'm surprised so many people want to force her to stay hooked up to something she said she didn't want."
a) You can't seem to understand what many here have said - she's not "hooked up"
b) You also don't know for sure Terri said she didn't want this - it's hearsay. And apparently only Michael's hearsay.
I mention this a lot, so if anyone has heard me mention it before, I apologize for the repeat. I have a friend who's daughter is on a feeding tube. She may some day be trained to swallow, but right now has a possibility of suffocating if she tries to swallow. The feeding tube my friend's daughter has is a contraption on the belly. The only time it is "hooked up" is during the times the girl is fed.
You have to remember that it was her HUSBAND that said she "didn't want to live like that". At the time she said that, food and water WERE NOT considered life support. After Michael got the award money to take care of her for the rest of his life, he and Felos pushed thru a bill (I think it was in 1996-98) to have food and water classified as life support. Can you imagine?? Food and water?? If that's the case, I guess we are ALL (the whole human race) is on "life support"! And this stands as a law in Florida. What a hell hole!
