That's the problem, other then MS and his brother there is no evidence that these are her wishes
Tell me, would you trust MS, or a pro-death lawyer like Felos or a liberal Judge like Geer with your life, especially after all that has happened and all that we do know?
I sure as heck don't
The real question then is why you want to force a continued artificial sustance of her body, when she (her mind / most of her brain) is gone, and when she had expressed that she didn't want that?
Do you have proof that her mind & body are gone?
has there been any therapy from an independent doctor/medical team in the last 10 years to say she can not function?
No there hasn't
So why the rush to kill her and starve her to death??
AND if there was proof that she expressed these wishes .. I may not like it .. but I could except it.
The point is .. if we do not know for sure .. we should side on the caution of life and not death.
Once we cross that line, it will be a very scary place for this country and not a road that we should go down.
So I will ask you the same question Glen Beck asked MS's brother
Yes, but you need to understand two related things. First, I trust my wife very much. Second, if I were in that condition, I would want her to act as MS has acted.
Why are you continuing to post to me? (just joking - I'm glad you're continuing - we may both learn something - not likely for either of us to change bottom line opinions, but we may each learn something).
The brain scans are sufficient proof, especially with the associated opinions of virtually all doctors who don't seem to be publicity seekers / self promoters.
So why the rush to kill her and starve her to death??
I don't consider a 10-13 year period (depends on when/why you start the clock) to be a "rush." Also, since I don't consider compliance with her wishes to be 'killing her' it's insulting to me for you to imply that I'd support killing her in any circumstance. The insulting rhetoric often emanating from those with your position is very difficult to deal with civilly.
AND if there was proof that she expressed these wishes .. I may not like it. but I could except it.
The court has dealt with this - with three witnesses that the court found creditable. That is our system. If it came out the other way, I'd accept that, but it didn't. You should accept that.
So I will ask you the same question Glen Beck asked MS's brother Glenn: Do we, as americans, starve handicapped people to death?
I've answered this one a few times here before (other threads maybe?). The short version is: We let the individuals decide for themselves, or their spouse, or their guardian. We don't impose our 'opinions' as 'actions' on them (not my opinion, and not your opinion).
We arrived at the crux of the problem happening here. A large group of 'save Terri' people are trying to force their 'opinion' as an 'action' against what the legal system has determined should be done.
