My son loves life.

He lives it to the fullest.

His motor dev. due to birth injuries has left him at the stage of a newborn in an adult body.

He chooses life.

You see Hildy your exp. with your father is very different than others who have loved ones that choose life no matter how disabled they are.

Your father had a right to choose to pass on at a stage of a terminal illness. My son chooses life due to a brain injury from birth. Very different circumstances but the bottom line is each has/had the right to choose.

Listen, I'm not going to debate you about your son. But your son gets to live with you, he doesn't have strangers taking care of him 24/7. Your son is disabled, he's not in a vegetative state like Teri...the situations are not the same. I saw pictures of your son at the rodeo. Teri cannot do that, can she? Would you want to live 13 years the way Teri lives. I want an honest answer.
