That you would force my family to bear the financial and emotional burden to care for my brain damaged body, all the time them knowing that I didn't want to live that way, is unconscionable.
The life insurance money, the retirement money, the savings account, all to pay for my children's education and a decent living for my wife -- gone. Gone to pay the lawyers, the hospital, and the hospice.
Thank God this is still America where I have the constitutional right to refuse medical treatment and to tell busybodies like you to go $%# off.
And what if your family wants to bear this burden? That's the heart of the Schiavo case.
