You tell me I don't know - yet you have all the answers.
How do you know at what age she made the comment about Quinlan? Did I say she said it when Karen was taken off the respirator? She could have said it five, six, seven years later. Why are you supposing her age at that time she said it to be young and impressionable?
You don't know and I don't know - but she did say it. So don't start nit picking - I don't know WHEN she said it BUT Mr. Joes KNOWS! She was too young to know what she even wanted. PLEASE!! Try a little bit not to be so obvious.
She could have said it when she was 12 through 20. Is that still too young for you.
And you only know by heresay what Terri's comments or wishes were. SO DO YOU REALLY know? You haven't heard from the other side so all we really have is heresay from one individual. SO YOU DON"T GO THERE. If that individual seems trustworthy to you - there is no more to be said other than wisdom and discernment are not your strong points.
We can't deal with "IF's" - the fact is nothing was written. So they relied on heresay. Why you bring suffocation into this discussion is for what point? Terri didn't suffer enough - it could have been worse? You truly are a piece of work. Let's make starvation and dehydration look ok - by throwing something else in. Hey, what about nailing her to a cross - that's worse. We can play this game all night - you got anything more gruesome - we can play this baby down to it's just a mild headache and it's beautiful - A LA FELOS!!
I've said it all along that both sides of the Terri issue have no idea what her wishes would have been. However, if she did say that she would not have wanted to live as she has lived for the past 15 plus years, would you have supported that decision. And the method that would have been necessary to allow her wishes?
