Suppose that we err on the side of life, pretty much have independent review of her medical situation and husband's actions instead of some backwater judge making all the calls.

If other judges had taken the time to review the case anew like Congress wanted and if other independent medical doctors had examined her then yes there is there is a good chance that she was in PVS and yes that her husband had the right to pull the plug.

Good God man we are talking about the right every convict has to get his case reviewed and facts doubled checked. IF it is not done then it is too late if mistakes was made.

I know you would of swear that Bulimia caused the collapse but we now know that there is no evidence for it, in other words we are dealing with humans who make mistakes or lie so before you pull the plug on your wife I suggest you better make damn sure she wanted it in the first place and that she can't recover.

What are you going to do if you did pull the plug on the wife based on a statement a few years old and she starts out crying "I want to live?".

You used a bible quote to justify the right of the husband to kill, is there other quotes that justify mercy killing. I thought that God should be the one to determine death other than his ten commandments to Man.

We also know that she did not have a heart attack either.

The coroner stated that her heart was 'strong' and in 'good condition' and probably was the reason she lasted so long AFTER the tube was removed the last time.

An independant government review of decisions that used to be between husband and wife? If it were the liberals doing this we would correctly be pointing out this is yet another attack on the sanctity of marriage.

His wife said she didn't want to be kept alive. That is also what my wife told me during the Shaivo sage.

There are other slippery slopes besides mercy killings. There is the increasing intrusiveness of medical technology. We may not be able to heal damaged brains but we can keep the body alive. We could have millions of elderly who would have died from strokes all with living bodies kept alive in PVS. We are going to have to confront that slippery slope also.

Um, did God plug her into the feeding tube? If it were up to God she would have died years ago and been at his side instead of listening to all this blather.
