What I meant was that when Terri had her unfortunate episode which deprived her brain of oxygen...it must follow that your Christian beliefs are such that it was God's Will at that point.

That was His way of calling Terri home. Whoever placed the tube in her interrupted God's Will.

Can't have it both ways.

The tube was inserted at M. Schiavo's insistence, and later Felos lobbied to have tube feeding classified as medical treatment that can be discontinued as "extraordinary means." Terri may very well be able to swallow liquids but she is prevented from having any swallowing tests. Why?

Perhaps that episode was NOT the result of a natural cause?

In any case, I don't think that all of the live-saving/extending medical advances that have been developed should be shunned because they were developed by the brains that God created in mankind. I have never refused an antibiotic to treat my pneumonia.

We know God's will by studying scripture. Its clear that God commands us to feed and provide drink to the hungry and the thirsty.

I am a Roman Catholic, which some would not consider Christian. Hence, my view is that if G_d wanted her home that night, she would not have survuived. Since she beat the odds, G_d wanted her to live. He may have planned this event now to prompt us to remember that life is indeed precious, and must be guarded zealously, or all will be lost. He may call her home now that that point has been made, and the ire of the people stirred. Only He knows that, however.

By that logic we should have no ambulances, no EMT's, no ER physicians. Heck, no hospitals! You honestly think people with Christian beliefs should agree with that? Now I think I've seen everything.
