How about your "ex wife" (should you ever have one). Would you wish her to have a "say" on pulling your plug?

Yes. If I were god forbid to have a brain injury today, my wife is by far in the best position to know my wishes. If she finds another guy down the line, she still is in the best position to know my wishes at the time of my incapacity.

Seems that most of us here are of the impression that Terri left no written statement, and her husband and that Greer fellow are not above suspicion.

Ergo, the law, technically, requires that she be kept alive.

So what was it you were arguing ~ that we kill her anyway?

It doesn't work that way. Just because Congress decides to butt in doesn't make it a Congressional matter.

You really dont seem to understand what a Congressional subpeona and contempt for Congress are, do you?

In this country you don't get to kill people just because they are brain damaged. Maybe that stuff flew in the USSR and Nazi Germany, but not here!

Besides, the method is BARBARIC, INHUMANE and beyond justification.

Zarf, are you still arguing on behalf of giving murder a privileged sanctuary within the family?

Was your daddy a mobster, or what?

Uh, that's exactly how it works.

There are no machines. For you to say so suggests you know nothing of this case, or you just wish to take the opportunity to dip your spear in Terri's blood.

But you avoid the question - who is paying for all of this medical care? If it's tax money then pull the plug.

I guess that's only a question for you.

As far as Terri's concerned her husband won a 1.2 million dollar lawsuit to pay for her care including rehab and therapy. About 3-4 months later, when the first check was cut from the award, he ordered her rehab and therapy stopped. He has since spent $700,000 of that in court trying to get her food and water stopped.

Are you saying that you didn't see any response from Terri in that video? A "vegetable" can't laugh or make any sounds like that at all. There is a medical definition of persistent vegetative state you know. Tell me this though; if vegetables aren't worth feeding are meatheads? What's the cost to society to let meatheads run around spewing out verbal inanities about subjects they know nothing about? Gas the meatheads!

There was no power of attorney.

Now you're arguing that there are classes of murder based on color.

I thought we were over that crap.

We have to rely on her power of attorney.

If you have her written power of attorney, by all means, produce the document. It would be news to a lot of people. I'd love to see it myself.

If it's tax money then pull the plug. I don't think the government should further pick our pockets to pay for vegetables.

Moderator, please remove that post as it is deeply offensive, contributes ntohing to the discussion and is inflamatory.

Though I guess it does illustrate the kind of vermin that we are dealing with.

Private parties are paying the medical expenses. You're not going to save taxpayer dollars by killing this woman you know.

...a 15-year investigation...

Get real. There have been some hearings during a fifteen-year period. It's not a 15-year investigation.

Don't count too heavily on this Greer character being all that human. He looks and sounds like a stone cold killer.

It sometimes happens that you get a sociopath on the bench.

How many times does the same evidence have to be presented?

How about some DIFFERENT evidence, like an MRI?
