We have a multiply handicapped son. He was born prematurely and suffered a bleed in the brain which left him profoundly retarded. He is now a young adult who is aware of his surroundings but cannot take care of himself. If we stopped feeding him he would die and we would be tried for murder. Personnally we don't see that much difference between him and Terri. The way in which the brain damage is manifested is different but the degree is probably not dissimilar.
aren't we ALL dependent on merely food and water to live? If food/water were denied any of us, we would die!
Apparantly not in Florida as long as you get a judge to go along.
God bless you for your work to sustain the life of your son.
It is occurring to me that Terri in her severely handicapped state has done more to change the face of America than a legion of lawyers. Regardless of how this battle goes, many people will examine their conscience thanks to her -- and thanks to the noble people like you.
Hopefully the both of you realize then what is at stake here.
Never in my life did I ever expect to see Americans debate such a chilling subject. You would have thought that after WW2 we learned to respect the sanctity of life.
