I don't disagree that the idea that someone can 'pull the plug' is a dangerous one, and needs to be fought.
The problem is that your statements throughout this thread have been totally contradictory.
Here you say that it's a dangerous idea to "pull the plug" (though there is no "plug" to pull, Lauren needs food and water just like the rest of us). However, you also believe that this is some sort of Divine retribution, while earlier you advocated purposely starving her as punishment for what COULD have happened to her baby (but didn't). What is this other than YOU wanting to play god?
Here is your post (with added emphasis):

However, we do know what lead to this, and along the way she put her baby at extreme risk. If that action alone doesn’t deserve death, please tell me what will deserve the death penalty. In the process of nearly killing her baby, she slipped into this coma. Many people would prefer to see her starve to death for her actions against the baby alone. Include me in that group. They need a different case to advance what is otherwise a noble cause. This case, defending a would-be killer, just sullies and discredits everyone involved.

You claim not to have the same agenda as the culture of death, but that is becoming impossible to believe.
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. (James 3:10)
Such a target rich post, where to begin?
Let’s start with the deliberate inducement of heroin to the baby. If we saw someone ‘doing heroin’ with a baby, my reaction would be clear. I would demand the death penalty for that person.
What would you do? Although you haven’t said as much, and so I’m speculating based on your posts thus far, it appears you would give the perpetrator a pass, perhaps even collect money for him to buy food and drink. Not a word from you about the baby.
I’m one of only two posters on this thread who have expressed any concern about the life of the baby. Not you, you have only defended the person whose deliberate act nearly killed the baby (a bazaar position to take on FR). I may be the only one to see the irony of this, but I’m the one who needs scripture quoted to? And I’m the one you called unChristian? Seesh, talk about projection.
As I’ve already said upthread if you want to believe I’m part of the culture of death, go ahead. I’m not, and I’m confident enough of my beliefs that your words don’t bother me.
Nor do I believe I’m God. If you don’t agree that she is receiving judgement from God for her act, that’s not a problem, as I can’t scientifically prove it is.
However, I’ve had a long enough relationship with him that I think and believe that the wisdom he’s given me helps me see things as they are.
