Do you hold that the government has a duty to deprive food and water to every citizen?

No, I do not. UNLESS such withholding is written into the law, as it is in this case.

Now answer MY question - "Does the government have a duty to provide food and water to every citizen?"

And you object to people suggesting you hold to nazi philosophy?

"Of course it was OK to exterminate those Jews. Why, it was even written into the law!"

You disgust me.

And again, I remind you that since you made such a grand show of plonking me, you will not be replying to this.

"No, I do not. UNLESS such withholding is written into the law, as it is in this case. "

It is SPECIFICALLY against the law to withhold basic care from a disabled person. Someone posted law to one of the Terri threads in the last few days. FOOD AND WATER are BASIC CARE. What the judge had ruled is illegal. If you starved a dog to death you'd get jail time, why not a human? Even murderers on death row are allowed food and water, yet this woman gets none because people like you deem her useless? You are the useless one in this case. We have no use for you here. Your argument won't be won here on this thread. Why don't you go just off and steal candy from children or whatever else you do with your free time and leave us alone?
