Perhaps you should go back and read what I actually said instead of assigning me those positions you feel most comfortable attacking.

You said that a PVS patient could "suffer". That it was absurd to say a PVS patient couldn't "suffer". That is what you said. If you are backing away from that now, I don't blame you.

I NEVER said I was "in favor of killing Terri Schiavo".

No, you simply vigorously spent dozens of posts defending the decision to kill her.

I am not ready to condemn the husband.

Ok. Fair enough. Meanwhile, I am. I condemn him as the creepy, cruel, ghoulish pr*ck that he is. So, you've stated your opinion & I've stated mine.

Anything else?

Nice try but I'm not backing away from my previous statement one bit.

Even if the medical community consensus is that a PVS patient can't suffer, I believe this is in a limited context.

Yes, maybe a PVS patient won't feel or respond to normal pain stimuli, but they remained trapped in that body.

I believe a person has a soul and is in there, aware on levels we know nothing about, and yes COULD and probably DOES suffer in some manner.
