That never bothered the culture of death when they murdered her.

“Gary Coleman’s ex-wife said in a new interview that she pulled the plug on the actor last week because she didn’t want him ending up like Terri Schiavo.”
And how is his current condition ANY different than hers?

He chose poorly when he married that woman. There are transcripts of the 911 call. She refused to help him because she didn’t want to get stressed out. She can be heard telling him to apply pressure to his bleeding skull.
I could cry. What callousness.
Surprising that an ex-wife would be the one making the decision about life and death. Coleman deserved better.
He looked too heavy for a bulimic
“Gary Coleman’s ex-wife said in a new interview that she pulled the plug on the actor last week because she didn’t want him ending up like Terri Schiavo”
Can ex-wives do that? Bad news for divorced men.
She didn’t want him ending up like Terri Schiavo, but ironically, he did.
Umm....we're all going to die "sooner or later."
I thought, “there is NO WAY they will just let her die.”
The church, the congress, the president, the governor, the law, the courts, the judges, public opinion, could not save Terri. Who has that kind of power here on earth?
“The god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4)(satan) does. It's the only explanation.
The 911 call should have made the cops suspicious. She was cold and blatantly refused to help her severely injured husband.
Terri Schiavo was a healthy woman who suffered a brain injury from a seizure.
Coleman had chronic kidney disease, and spent years on dialysis or medicines to stop rejection of a kidney transplant. Often this means high blood pressure that damaged the heart and other organs, and might have been behind the stroke.
Schivo had an injury that was impossible for docs to estimate if she’d recover or not. She was killed later, even though she had recovered and was probably not PVS.
I suspect Coleman’s MRI showed a major bleed in his brain; if he didn’t die he would have spent years disabled. Brain surgery in this case has a small chance of recovery, but often the person dies after a few days, from cerebral edema.
Finally, I suspect Coleman either had a “living will” or had talked to his wife and family on what to do if he had a major stroke or heart attack.
Removing machines from a person who has only a small chance of recovery, is a bit different than starving to death a helpless handicapped woman.
