Not what I'm talking about.

Although, I maintian Terri Schaivo is beyond disabled. "Disabled" means that you can't do some things, but you still have consciousness. Terri is brain-dead. Only her brain stem still works. That's well past the bright line of "disabled" to dead.

Where did you find these factually false definitions?

Too me, the basic argument here is this. Materialists have one view of life, and those who believe in a Creator of all have a completely view.

One side is right, and the other wrong.

If I am a solipsist then I wouldn't believe that anybody has consciousness but me. The fact is, consciousness is entirely subjective and you can't tell the difference between anyone and a lifeless automaton going through the motions because you can't get inside anyone else's heads.

#874 "I believed she died 15 years ago"
This statement is neither correct in fact or in law.
You repeat the same error in this post.
You will not find a single medical or legal authority to support your claim that she is not disabled but dead.

What about people with epilepsy or narcolepsy, who might be "unconscious" many times a day?
