What kind of ridiculous question is that? If you don't want to answer my question, fine. But as a Society, we'd better ask ourselves that question: If everyone is to be kept alive, by any means possible, WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT?

What's ridiculous about it? Do you get any subsidies from the government? Social security? Health insurance? A paycheck? Student loan? etc, etc?

Oh and BTW, try this on for size Ms Compassion:

"One specialist said he had a 5% chance of recovering, another said he had no chance whatsoever of regaining consciousness," says his mother, Johanna. She and her husband, Tinus, spend about £1,000 a month on round-the-clock care for their son in a converted garage at their home, but until June they had seen no sign of awareness in him. Then they asked their doctor, Clive Holroyd, to contact Nel for advice."

You are definitely in the running for the Most Shrill & Hateful Person On FR.

"WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT?"

Just what the relatives say before pulling the plug. Relatives risk the inheritance if they don't. See my point.

And if, as a Society, we decide to kill the 'inconvenient' - the Terris' and the unborns, I can TELL you "WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT?"

The murderous Society - ("as Ye have done unto the least of these,...Ye have done it unto Me." )

There are some who should consider this: God does not require a person to believe in Him to exist. He IS. His Laws/ground rules are to keep a society strong and healthy, it's peoples happy and safe. When a society/person breaks these mores, they will - sooner or later - suffer the consequences. And it is NOT God that punishes, it is the perpetrator who flaunted the ground rules has brought it upon himself. It's rather like playing on the yellow line in the middle of a freeway - sooner or later, you will get hit. Who's to blame? God?

So run along now, play on your yellow line...maybe you'll be lucky and get killed outright and not be trapped in a body where everyone thinks you're a turnip - because you can't sign or speak what you are screaming inside: "I'm in here! Don't pull the plug! Help me!"

Here, now you can print your "argument" out and color him. Season-appropriate to boot!
