I'm sure when you list all of your amazing inventions (again), folks here will understand that you know better about why it's "good" that she will be dehydrated to death."
I've had stalkers before. Come on by!
On topic: Would you let your mom go for 15 years of bedsores?
I wouldn't. But that's me.
What would yo do? Hold a pillow over her face and suffocate her? Give someone else a pillow to hold over her face?
If she were my mother, I'd treat her bedsores.
Nope! I'd LET HER go to rehab! That way she wouldn't HAVE to be bedridden ALL THE TIME!!!
Hey, Moron, oops, Monroe... you never responded to my post on the other Terri thread, so, I'll say again...
"15 years of this vegetable doing bedsores...
I would not wish this life on anyone I care for. Would you? If it was your mom, or sister, or wife, would you?"
I don't care if you're genetically linked to Jim, George Bush, Marilyn Monroe, or Marilyn Manson. You are indeed a "knuckle-dragger" just like your page states.
I believe passionately in the sanctity of innocent life. If I err, I err on the side of life. I am ardently pro-life (even though I wasn't in my early college years), and anti-euthanasia.
My younger brother's only child, my niece, from birth was very much like Terri Schiavo. Her health problems resulted from genetic issues. She never spoke a word. She never walked. She never crawled. She never fed herself. She could not hug with her arms. She died when she was 13.
Her life, and the look in her eyes when she went in her special wheelchair outside for walks, spoke volumes, and shouted out to the world that she could make a difference.
And you know what? She did more to heal people around her (in particular, my mother and father) than a thousand sermons, a thousand pontificating politicians, or a thousand professors of ethics ever could.
Was she a vegetable? If she was, the world needs more such vegetables, and less knuckle-draggers.
The image of my niece, and her ability (although miniscule) to be happy, will not allow me to accept some euthanasia-happy society that arbitrarily decides who lives a 'worthy' life or not. And that includes the "Greer Reaper".
Or you.
I would not let my mother endure 15 years of bedsores. With proper care, she would not get bedsores.
Bedsores are a result of negligent care, perhaps the result of the husband's order to provide the bare minimum of care, as in this case?
Look, calmly, without name calling, the only reason she has bedsores is tha Michael has denied proper care for her. If she looks like she is making any progress, he goes back to court to get it stopped. HE picked the hospice! The things you are saying are not backed up by the many articles on this Terri.
If anyone ever gets a single bed sore or single contracture it is medical abuse.
You only get them from lousy nursing care.
