I read a different article about her that said she was found guilty of attempted murder.

[Netizen]

Oh my word, you are right!

Michael Charles Martin, 43, suffered serious head injuries after the meat truck he was driving and a lime tanker collided near the Waikato town of Pirongia two weeks ago.

This is why I thought two weeks. They didn't even allow time for brain swelling to reduce.

Unfortunately I don't believe you would pass up the chance for an early termination.

I watched my beloved Father die a cruel and painful death.

Question for my Fellow Freepers... #167. He was in no pain and died very peacefully.

Which is it?

[Hildy]

Ms Martin, her son, her sister and her family and Mr Martin's partner, former wife and children were all at the hospital to decide whether to keep him on a ventilator.

All these people, all the people that loved him the most, are murderers?

[Netizen]

Are there other articles on this? I didn't read anything in the article stating that the doctors said he couldn't ever come out of it. The article reads like it was her saying that his injuries were unrecoverable.

[Hildy]

Wow, you bookmarked my posts. He was in terrible pain until they gave him the morphine to start the dying process. What part of that doesn't your brain comprehend?

[Hildy]

Where do you think she got the information about his injuries?

[BykrBayb]

From her book?

[Hildy]

I don't know what you're talking about. What book? She got the information on her brother's injuries from her book about her Mother? Sorry, don't follow you on this one.

[BykrBayb]

Yes, I bookmarked some of your posts that I think provide insight into your fascination with euthanasia.

[BykrBayb]

In other words, she made it up.

[Hildy]

My first instinct is to say how dare you, but I just feel sorry for you. People who think the know what's best for other people ALL THE TIME, are to be pitied.

[Hildy]

She made it up? I see, and all the people that were with her, they just went along with her? In the hospital? Were you there?

[BykrBayb]

I'd ask you the same question, but it's a stupid question.

[Netizen]

If it got to the point where my Mother looked into my eyes and said, "Please help me, I don't want to live like this, I would do everything in my power to help her.

If she could look you in the eyes, but not speak or write, would you just off her, because you wouldn't want to live that way?

[Hildy]

OK, take out were you there. Answer the rest...are you saying all the people who were there in the hospital...the people who loved him the most...were all just itching to off him? WHY?

[BykrBayb]

This is the only article I found about it. You can count on members of the WPPFF to provide facts of their own creation to fill in any gaps.

[Hildy]

It's a moot point, because she has a living will. I know where you are going with this. Schiavo case was so unusual. I think the Judges in Florida followed the law on her case and if you don't like the law, I suggest you try to change it.

[BykrBayb]

Are you saying you know she's telling the truth about all those people being there? And the fact that they were means they agreed with her decision?
