God does not want you to take your own life, and don’t think your troubles are over, if you do.

1. You are not God.
2. My troubles are mine, and have nothing to do with my attitudes on people deciding that they would rather not be kept alive.
3. I did not succeed, because I was incapable of it, My incapacitation was why I wanted to do it. (irony...)
4. You cannot possibly completely understand what it's like to be fifteen and to have your life be over, but not be dead.
5. I thought I would be more useful on the other side where I would not be just a "Head".

You STILL must face God after you die.

I was, and am looking forward to it.

Also, Terri did not want to die. She cried when she heard her feeding tube would be removed. She knew.

This is not supported information, some say she did, some say she did not, I was not there, neither were you. We do know her brain waves were flat, she cried spontaneously all the time. there is no evidence that anyone was "home" and no one had been for years.

I am not saying I would have done what Michael did, but I can understand that after 15 years, he wanted to remarry, and as a catholic, he couldn't until she died. She got some money to support her, it was gone, who was paying?

I do not believe we are "Gone" when we die, and as such, life is not so precious so as to be preserved when the person ho is being kept alive is more miserable than they would be if they just went home to God. I am not hiding from him, you can't, I was looking forward to being a giver again, while I thought that in this life from then on, I would be a taker, I don't like being a taker, but a quadriplegic doesn't really have a choice on that, I faced it, I know.

Who is “we”? Cuz “we”, you, are wrong.

This thread is not about YOU. But if YOU make personal comments that are dead wrong, don’t expect support. Expect the blunt truth.

I don’t know what’s in your heart, but God does, and you can’t lie to God. Remember that.

“Wesley Smith: What I find terribly ironic, is that in 1998, Terri had more than $700K in her trust account to pay for her care. The bulk of this money instead went to lawyer George Felos and other attorneys, to help end her life.

The government’s job is to protect the lives of its citizens. That is why, for example, we have government-funded suicide prevention centers.”

Again from the link: “The government’s job is to protect the lives of its citizens. That is why, for example, we have government-funded suicide prevention centers.”

According to Cindy Shook, Michael’s girlfriend 1 1/2 years after Terri was hurt, Michael Schiavo said:

“How the hell should I know we never spoke about this, my God I was only 25 years old. How the hell should I know? We were young. We never spoke of this.”
