"You really need to take a deep breath and try to articulate your position in more rational terms."

A woman is dead. That is rational as it gets.

A lot of people are dead. For a lot of different reasons. Some seemingly more rational than others.

We allowed her to be dehydrated, that too is rational. What is irrational is the concept killing a woman is somehow humane or moral.

And how rational is it to use a feeding tube to pro-long the suffering of a person in a hopeless and helpless state of existance indefinitely?

It just amazes me how shallow and simplistic the so-called pro-life arguments are on this issue.

People with absolutely no understanding of difficult end of life issues passing judgment on everbody else ...

That's funny. Why have the organizations for disabled people supported Terri?

She was suffering? And you know this because....you can channel thoughts like George Felos and John Edwards? She was not hopeless and she definitely was not helpless, as her parents had every desire to "help" her.

So, anyone pro-life has no understanding of end-of-life issues? What makes you the expert? What makes Greer an expert? Since you are a self anoited expert- perhaps you can tell us which law school Greer attended, is it the same one you have?
