‘Yeah, a guy who tried to start the debate on whether we should kill the disabled...’

I understand why you hestitated to use the correct term in this debate.

‘Disabled’ is hardly an accurate description, and I suspect you knew this when you choose that particular term.

We both know he was about terminally ill patients that are forced to suffer horribly for long periods before finally dying.

If I had a disease that was incredibly painful, completely debilitating....I honestly don’t know what I would personally do in such a situation. There are those that will survive you to consider, for example. In my case its my wife.

Should I bankrupt her completely so as to endure an agonizing ‘end’ months, maybe years in the future?

Nobody can answer that complicated question for anyone else.

And the Federal Government has no business being involved.

As for my original comment, sorry Kervorkian had nothing to do with that particular case. Its always been my suspicion there was ‘foul play’ at work.

I do think the family, after suffering through all of it, would be better off ‘moving on’.

But thats also a personal decision, isn’t it?

And what term would you prefer, depressed or would you revert to the old standard of "worthless eater"?

We both know he was about terminally ill patients that are forced to suffer horribly for long periods before finally dying.

Again, are we talking about people who suffered from depression and chronic fatigue syndrome?

I am terribly sorry about your wife. But, in many cases, it is not so much the attitude of bankrupting someone completely as it is PRESERVING more money for the heirs.

In Terri's case, Michael used TERRI'S money to kill her.

And the Federal Government has no business being involved.

Why? Be specific, because such things as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the United States Constitution indicate otherwise.

I do think the family, after suffering through all of it, would be better off ‘moving on’.

Just like MADD and Megan Kanka's family should just "move one".

For some reason, it seems that whenever the term "move on" is used, it's telling conservatives to stop caring about liberals breaking the law.

You mean she had money? Do you mean that you wanted it?
