Btw, it's Revelation, singular. Fodder for flamewars.
This is a case of a husband seeking release to die for his wife, who is in a persistant vegetative state. The feature of all is history is a husband or wife's responsibility to give permission for their opposite to be allowed to die when the medical opinion is that spouse will be forever in a braindead state.
Yes, there are suspicious circumstances. Yes, the husband stands to gain from her death. But, the fact is that no one here knows what Terri's wishes are. No one here took vows of marriage to her. Only her husband.
If he does this with evil and gain in his heart, that is GOD'S business. The public has no business in it.
I understand the problem and the fear of many. Should this become a precedent, then we, ourselves, may be in a similar situation where we are conscious and unable to communicate and do not want to die. We can put ourselves, in our ignorance, in Terri's place, and feel the fear of death we don't wish.
But how many have been screaming inside to die, unable to screan outwardly, and been denied that by machine and medicine? Distinguishing from the senario in the last paragraph, what may happen when we may be in a vegetative hell, screaming to get out and the public won't let us die.
It cuts both ways.
With respect to the passage in Revelation, in this century only has technology reached the point where a person, who would have been dead in previous years, can be kept alive artificially. I think the evidence, in this age, that this passage applies is greater than the evidence it doesn't.
