Big time.
Freepers want to keep people alive, regardless of the fact that they have no brain activity, indefinitely. Until nature takes its course they tell me.
Problem is, if nature had its way, Terri would have been dead 15 years ago. The machines aren't natural at all and people can now live indefinitely, on machines. Which cost the earth.
It's a burden Medicaid and the health community can't absorb. But hey, what's a little tax increase among friends. Like by 75% or so.
That's been done before. Well the "kill the disabled" part, anyhow.
Yeah and all those old and sick people, I mean they've already lived their lives, why can't they just "take one for the team?"
well, then there now - Terri was not, is not "on machines" - she was not on life support, not comatose, not in a PVS - etc - only a feeding tube - and only that because her husband-in-name-only refused to let them feed her by mouth - and there are nurses who have signed affidavits that she could be -
But how can you create the illusion that someone is on life support if they are not, at least, on 'something -
the feeding tube is only hooked up for a few minutes a day to deliver the nutrients...
that is not "life support"
(and, oh, Peach-y, don't bother to answer me. It's obvious you are for euthanasia - so no sense conversing with you - I only commented on you remarks for others to read)
