Respiration is autonomic.
Eating is not.
To me that's a fundamentally important difference.
Now that is a rational point. Thank you.
Mind explaining how that is relevant, though, to denying a woman's right to refuse nutrition/hydration? To me, it simply highlights that a person who wanted not to respire couldn't do so willingly...however, hunger strikes are possible, and there's no way to know whether Mrs. Schiavo would eat or not...except via a legal mechanism called the courts. Who's to say that force-feeding her is not a terrible denial of her rights?
Read Gondring'statement, it sets up the next step in the death cult's plan.IF you can't feed yourself you can be starved to death. Good bye all quadraplegics...
