Spoken by a person presumably in good health and not facing a torturous murder

If you were paralised and not able to speak - would you like to be fed by tube and artificially kept alive for more than 15 years? This IS a torture!

GO AWAY FROM US A.HOLE

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I might. Haven't been there. Life tends to be precious whereever you are in your life...until the body says now is the time to die, and often even then.

[SueAngel]

Being killed rather than paralyzed is your OWN preference. Don't project your own preferences on someone else. I, for one, would rather remain alive and paralyzed than starved to death. Not everyone agrees with you.

850,000 Americans use feeding tubes.

If we're going to kill them all, we're going to need a bigger boat.

If you were paralised and not able to speak

How much research have you done? Any? She can't walk. She has a wheelchair. So does JimRob so be careful. It's a crime not to be able to speak clearly?

would you like to be fed by tube and artificially kept alive for more than 15 years?

Colostomy bags replace a "natural" function. So do pacemakers. Where you gonna draw the line? We murder those that YOU think are useless?

First they came for the communists

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

The point is as I see it is she has had NO therapy in those 15 years. That should at least be tried by those who love her and not in the hands of someone who hates her.

[MarMema]

She is not paralyzed.

[Velveeta]

As a parent,

If a son-in-law wanted to KILL the flesh of my flesh and the blood of my blood and all I wanted was to take care of MY daughter,

I'd do everything the Schindlers are doing and anything else within my power to stop that from happening.

Michael Schiavo is torture.

Here's someone else who cannot do anything for himself, and the only way he can speak is with a speech synthesizer. Ask him if he would like to be killed. He's been this way quite a bit longer than Terri.
