Or simply stated: turn up the heat slowly on the frog in the water, it will never notice it's being cooked.
But you are describing indeed the clever evil details of how they do it.
Trust me, we are!!!
The issue is "do we kill people with healthy bodies but damaged brains"?
It has nothing to do with what Michael may or may not have done. It has nothing to do with how Terri came to be in that state. It has nothing to do with how far she could have been brought back.
These are the issues that every one keeps talking about but they have nothing to do with the core issue. Do we want to kill the disabled?
This issue transcends Terri.
No adult regardless of physical status has the right to force another to work for his benifit. If you don't want strangers deciding wether you live or die then get you hands out of thier pockets.
"This issue transcends Terri."
EXACTLY!!!!
considering how we drug children who merely act up and then label them into "disabled" it should not be surprising. EVERYONE is a victim. EVERYONE is entitled to a gov handout. Everyone now has WHINE to go with government issued cheese.
which means it is even MORE IMPORTANT for conservatives to be voting and ACTIVE in elections.
My Fellow Freepers WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN 2006?
There is a story that Kevorkian finished off a woman who changed her mind at the last minute.
"Ironically if the U.S. Supreme Court had sided with Kevorkian, we might not be having this debate now over Terri Schiavo."
Yes we would. There is a PROFOUND difference between providing the means and allowing people to decide for themselves that they want to die (as Kevorkian did), versus KILLING people, who are unable to defend themselves ( as Greer did)
I don't know all the stories to be sure. There were even stories that some of the people may not have had a terminal illness.
Bears repeating.
Excellent article.
Too bad you had to immediately soil it with an inane worn-out Nazi reference that we've heard for the 1000th time. We got it, ok?
Perhaps, the Dr. Singer would be a better example?
I almost pray, no I do pray that you are engaging in sarcasm. But I fear that you are not. Your suggestion is so repulsive it staggers the mind. There are worse defects than physical or mental disabilities and that is a defect of the heart. Our value as persons does not lie in having a pure and perfect genetic code. It lies in the great love God has for us. It lies in His incarnation and His resurrection. Both which affirmed the dignity of human life. Body, soul and mind. Perhaps you do not care for an argument centered on Christian teaching. Then think of some of the people that you would have tossed on the dung heap of history. Helen Keller, Alexendar Graham Bell, Beethoven, Stephen Hawkings, Ray Charles, and so many others who have contributed so much to this world.
I feel sorry for you, for if you are serious your heart is as disabled as any so called defective.
Remember, if you don't have a health care directive on file, just vote Democrat - they'll be sure to pull the feeding tube when you can't get up to pull the lever anymore...
Actually Kovorkin killed several people who were not terminally ill and at least one that was not ill at all.
Just an observation: I seem to note a dearth of the evo crowd on threads such as this. Certainly they have an opinion on the matter. And in the words of a certain Freeper, " Everybody be nice. "
Do you derive any benefit from paved roads?
