Just because I listen to a description of Terri's brain damage in the level above the brain stem as so major as to allow no "conscious' functioning does not mean I am a Leftist. At least I don't throw around "You're Leftist. Your're anti life!" That is just another version of " Halliburton! Halliburton!"
Sorry, but your arguments (on this and previous threads)remind me of those posed by the Lefties. If I am wrong about this, then so be it. So far my "spidey sense" is still tingling. If I am wrong, I'll be pleased to admit it. Let's try an example. Do you believe in a broad or narrow interpretation of the US Constitution?
Then answer this hypothetical question;
What if her entire frontal lobe [the "master lobe" responsible for "who we are"/thought/comprehension/self-expression] were nothing but dead scar tissue and spinal fluid and there was absolutely no chance that it would ever "regenerate"?
Would you consider her "alive" or "brain dead"?
