So you think people should be kept alive indefinitely even when there is no hope of recovery and they have no cognitive ability left. Even when those people have left a written directive which says they don't want to be kept alive that way. Good to know.

It's people like you that most concern people like me. Because I still believe in the right of self determination and don't wish to see that right removed by the radicals with an agenda.

You have a way to ensure that your rights are carried out. Have a living will which states the opposite of what most of them state. State that you wish to be kept alive indefinitely with machines.

It's people like me, who don't wish to be kept alive with machines (and I comprise the majority) who will be subject to the whims of the people with an agenda.

Under these laws, you have no "right to live" in Florida. Only to die.

That's free choice only for the suicidially despondent.

Ok, Peach, what if you want your child to live even after the doctors have written the child off as not meeting the criteria that the law has provided to retain care?

Try looking at this from the point of view that the "society refiners" do not want the weak, deformed, costly, or disabled to retain the "right to life". Then, you as a mother are told - "no, we will not continue care for that child because the "law" says it falls into the category of "dead" - so, we intend to starve it to death.

Now, you as the mother - do not have the ability to make them give care and have to watch your own child being starved to death. What would you do?

Would you just sit back and say "sorry Bryan, the law thinks you are not worthy of life - but all will be fine, you'll see."

No, you would be ready to kill someone. And, then, I would bet that you would say - "Who the >>>> do they think they are?" I will not allow the "law-writers" to determine when my child has to die.

You, too, then would not be analyzing the medical findings showing how they prove that Bryan no longer enjoys the constitutional rights of American citizenship - but is now considered garbage to be taken out.

And, if you cannot understand this point of view - there is absolutely no use posting any further.
