But this isn't about you or the various people you asked.

If, as many say, Terri had no awareness and could feel nothing.....then what was the harm of letting her live? Nobody knows what therapy might have done for her. What if...she was really smiling at her mothers touch?

She was being fed and hydrated through a tube. That's all. Why not let God decide how long she was to live?

Quite right.

It's about all of us.

Thank you for that, Jrabbit!

Some folks need to be reminded of that. Often.

Not to open another can of worms, but just what if some miracle in modern science (don't laugh, I'm doing this partly to illustrate the absurdity and hypocrisy of liberal thinking) but what if a miracle cure was found in stem cell technology, for example, or some other modern medical breakthrough makes it possible to grow new nerve cells, new brain cells, etc. Could happen the day after tomorrow. A cure for how many diseases, ailments, injuries, lost body parts, etc, is just around the corner?
