Please respond to my question.

Should all those who cannot feed themselves, ARE NOT IN A PVS or on artificial life support, be "allowed to die?"

Should my relative have been "allowed to die" before he could feed himself? Should Alzheimer's patients be "allowed to die" after they cease being able to feed themselves?

Pulling the feeding tube from Terri is murder. If this is done, our country has gone the way of leftist Europe, and we all need to fear for our lives should we become disabled (as many are in the Netherlands) if we permit the murder of this less than perfect, but fully alive human being.

Terri's plight has laid bare an ugly secret about America: a substantial number of Americans, including self-described religious conservatives, are in agreement with, and would welcome the full implementation of, secular liberal Europe's utilitarian view of the worth of innocent human life.

"Please respond to my question.

But your question does not apply here. ( writing things in capitals does not mae it so )
