The Pope is now on a feed tube and unable to speak or swallow foods......so by their standards, he should be starved to death too. Nonsense. My understanding is that the Pope, though physically infirm, is still aware mentally. If the Pope were to slip into a PVS it would be up to his guardian to decide whether or not his feeding tube should be removed (barring the existence of a living will).
According to their standards, he is now "sub-human"
Strawman argument. Nobody has called Terri Schiavo "sub-human."

You're right, the Pope is still mentally aware....so is Terri S Nobody has called Terri Schiavo "sub-human."
You are so wrong here.....she has been called sub-human, as has many who are disabled. Not only in these words but in other terms as well, by many on the left

My grandmother has alzheimers, should we just stop feeding her?

(The Terri issue is legally complicated, but not the moral issue. I want to be on the side of life.)
