That's great. God still does perform miracles. However our medical system as is will not support continued support of every situation in which there is not a living will or directions otherwise. Doctors know more than we do and we have to put some authority in their hands in situations where a living will does not exist

"....our medical system as is will not support continued support of every situation..."

Exactly...and this was the main reason for the Terri Circus.

Unless you are placed in a position where the presumption of death vs the presumption of life issue smacks you right in the face ....it's just another point of discussion. For the majority the US population the later is true.

This ignorance of the reality of what is being proposed by proponents of the presumption of death is the hoped for lubricant for the inoculation of the society.

The reality is that it cost our insurance company over $200,000 to bring my spouse "back to life"

As for your "infallible" medical professionals involved in the case.... First there was the incorrect pronouncement of death, then the incorrect pronouncement of survival chance, then the incorrect prognosis for cognitive recovery, then the incorrect prognosis for physical recovery.

I know there are thousands of "miracles" walking around right now with similar stories. Why our current society would want to kill people who are put in the position that my spouse was in is not hard to figure.

+$200,0000 minus one human = +$200,0000

+$200,0000 multiplied by thousands of prevented "miracles" = one huge stinking pile of amoral dung.
