Yep!
I'll bet you if you put the food on the floor of the playpen and sat him down amidst it, he would eat on his own.
Where have we sunk to when the authorized Congressional oversight can be summarily ignored by a judge? What if there are flaws in the court proceedings that are revealed at the eleventh hour but a Federal judge refuses the authorized Congressional request for a Federal de novo review? [Note, there is no bias for liberal or conservative lurking in the question.]
lol
You might be right. Might be why the demonDeathPushingRats say there is no problem with Social Security. They plan to snuff everyone out so they won't have to pay!
But it seems you like to mix different things together..
I thing GloriaJane was right in reply #13.
Interfere far too much in their life, my @$$. Abortion should not be a means of birth control. Freedom of choice should be made BEFORE engaging in sex.
over 15 years she's in that state..
And you are how old? You've been eating for over 15 years too, I presume?
That's possible. On the other hand, he might just put the bowl on his head. He only has two teeth, and he has yet to eat a bite of anything with even the smallest lump; he even choked on cake crumbs! So he could possibly starve even if surrounded by food.
Can't believe he had to ask.
Don't mean to sound snide. (I know it came out that way. Very sorry.)
My husband and I already have living wills but I asked him if Texas considered feeding tubes extraordinary means and he looked shocked! I think he's looking at our living wills, now. I'm sure we'll redo them if there's ANY question to make sure we get food.
Being a shell (truly brain-dead) is one thing: Being treated as yesterday's unwanted garbage is another thing.
My best friend's 2 y.o nephew needs a feeding tube because his medical condition prevents him from eating in the "lawfully" accepted fashion. Should he be starved to death because he'll always be on *artificial* nourishment? BTW, despite his disability, he breathes on his own (just like Terri).
I pray that those on FR who want Terri to starve don't find themselves in the same situation Terri has been forced into. Life is unpredictable. One minute a person is hale and hearty. Then, in the blink of an eye, things can change for the worse (sometimes, permanently).
Never mock God. What He has given, He can take away because of our ungratefulness.
no.
Ya think?
I'm thinking this person may be one of Dr K's biggest fans.
LMAO
good i'll let my daughter know her g-tube is considered artificial,i am sure she will be happy to know that. and she needs to die now.
Let her go in peace by starving her to death. Aren't you the rightous little bugger....
My oldest son suffered brain damage at birth due to lack of oxygen. Shortly thereafter, we were called into the doctor's office and advised strongly and harshly that we should discontinue all efforts to save him, including feeding, as he would, and I quote, never know us, never smile, and only live his entire life in a vegetative state. Instead, my wife gave him mother's milk from a little dropper, we held him, we talked to him, we loved him and prayed. Today, he walks and runs, he puts his own shoes on, he loves music and controls the radio himself. And when we put him to bed and cover him up and kiss him at night, we get the biggest smile you ever saw. Don't believe the right to die crowd when they cry doom and no hope. Where there's life -and prayer- there's hope. And food and water are NOT extraordinary life-sustaining measures. Witholding them, however, IS murder.
That's my two cents.
I just understand that the same thinking which allows one to dehumanize unborn children, and kill them, is the same type of thinking which allows one to dehumanize the mentally disabled, and kill them.
PROABORTION = KILL TERRI
Thanks for confirming my hypothesis.
"under Terri's condition, let her go"
What is it with you starvation-cheerleaders?
Terri Schiavo IS NOT TERMINALLY ILL! By definition she can't be "let go." Stop using this euphemism; it is not applicable. She is being euthanized. Have some guts and admit what you starvation-cheerleaders are afraid to say: "I support euthanasia."
