You have a son or daughter that get's into an accident. They end up being severely handicapped. The only means to help them survive is a feeding tube.
Here's the more detail for you
They are able to regognize your face, smile at your voice and blink thier eyes. They can swallow, you know this because they aren't drooling. They show signs of wanting to live, ie, not lethargic, depressed, always sleeping...
Do you:
1. Remove the tube because you don't want the responsibilty of caring anymore.
2. You are ignorant to what a severely handicapped person it to a vegetable. 3. You do not know that a comatose person on a ventalator is different than a conscious person with a feeding tube.
You are facinated with death, I pity you and your family members.
This is where your argument fails. Dr. after Dr. after Dr. has stated Ms. Schiavo is in a PVS. Not severely handicapped. There is a huge difference. Please read my post above that states the FACTS about this.
Too bad you don't have enough "compassion" to share for other people's views.
Dude, leave me out of these Shiavo threads, they suck.
