"Officials say she is now able to move her eyes in the direction where a sound is being made."
Hurray, now she can look at where noise is coming from for the rest of her life.
I see there are plenty of you who think that God's will is thwarted when a person is removed from artificial means of sustenance; aren't there any Christians out there who think that maybe it's actually thwarting God's will to keep people alive indefinately by keeping them hooked to a machine? The latter seems a bit more logical than the former.
That said, I sure as hell hope nobody hooks me up to something so I can look back and forth in the same room until I croak. I'd rather die a slow and painful death... wait, that WOULD be dying a slow and painful death.
Couldn't administering life-saving antibiotics, when medics see fit, be also considered a thwarting of God's will? And isn't that close to what Christian Scientists believe?
Haleigh was removed from a ventilator, and started breathing on her own when the DSS & state's assured prognosis was that removing her from the ventilator was 0% survival. Was God's will thwarted when the ventilator was removed and she didn't die on her own?
I realize you are new to the forum, perhaps you lurked for awhile first, but this is a conservative forum, and many of us agree with the founder's Statement who wrote we are "Pro-God and Pro-Life" as 2 of the first on a list of many identifiers.
Many of us pray for this girl's life. If it is God's will that she dies, who would argue, so long as it is God's will and not the state's determination. That is the main argument here. This is not a Right-to-die case, which has previously evoked much of the same argument you posed here "I sure as hell hope nobody hooks me up to something so I can look back and forth in the same room until I croak". She is 11, a child, and deserves protecting.
