15 years in a vegatative state being force fed by the state would be purgatory to me.

But see... it's not about you. I feel completely different. If I were in the same state as Terri, it would really no longer be about me. I want to be there for my children and family for as long as they need me. There is so little hope left in this world. If my being alive brings them hope so be it. If holding my hand gives even one of them a moment of comfort.. I want to be there. It's not about me.

On the other hand.. if watching me live in that bed is painful for them and they are all in agreement, can't afford it, let me go. Cogent or not, dead or barely alive I want to be there for them if they need me. I will be with my Lord soon enough. Life is short. Even for a person living to the age of 100. Death is imminent and permanent.

So you and I have completely different opinions. I don't believe her husband because there is so much conflict of interest it's not even funny. She loved her parents enough to move to Florida to be with them. She may feel the way I do. Please don't vote to have me starved.
