You seem to believe that all others want and demand the exact same thing as you, ...

No, that is a misrepresentation. I know that others (perhaps you) claim that if they were in Terri's brainless condition, they would dearly want to be pumped with slurry and diapered for indeterminate years.

All I want is that people like Terri and me, who don't want that, can have our wishes enforced and be allowed to die, no matter what you think, with your non-biblical attachment to physical life. Your bodily shell can be pumped and evacuated in some nursing home for 20 years after your mind is gone, but let us (who want to) die. That's all I ask. And keep the darn politicians out of it.

You're all hung up about hanging on to physical life. I'm not. My wife is already in Heaven and when my mind goes, I want to go too. You can be pumped and diapered until that other place freezes over; stall for time.

Fist of all, this is not about you. This is about someone else.

Second, you do not know what she wanted. You have consistantly presumed that she would only want what you want. Not everyone thinks the way you do, and there is evidence that was introduced in court that disputes everything you have said/presumed by your posts with regard to what Terri wanted or didn't want. Including that her brain was still active and working and could be rehabilitated.

And third, Terri was not being pumped full of anything. There was no respirator, that would have pumped. There was a simple tube that food/hydration flowed from above her, to down into her. Kind of like a river that starts in the mountains and flows to the valleys below.
