Is it good enough for God?
Mmmm...
Thirty years ago, Terri Schiavo would have died.
We are playing God in extending life beyond a point where traditionally life would have ceased.
Feeding tubes were invented in the 19th century.
Spoons are prehistoric.
You're talking nonsense.
"Thirty years ago, Terri Schiavo would have died. "
Not necessarily at all -- her parents could have kept spoonfeeding her. Nurses testified that she swallowed liquids and jello and showed enjoyment.
Thirty years ago? Probobly. But, this isn't thirty years ago. This is now. Should we disallow medical procedures born out of progress now because it wasn't available thirty years ago?
We are playing God in extending life beyond a point where traditionally life would have ceased.
There are many disabled Americans who presently receive their nutrtion via feeding tubes. Were it not for these feeding tubes, traditionally, their lives would cease. Do you advocate removing their feeding tubes? If that's not "playing God" I don't know what is.
feeding someone is NOT extending life. if you think it is, please stop eating.
