And of course, the next step is to question my Christianity. Bravo. What a strong argument you make! How could I stand against the weight of such reasoned thinking.

You don't know me so you have no basis on which to judge my faith, but you're fee think what you wish. I'll look you up when we're in heaven, and see if you still question it then. Until then, you just don't know.

I think the concern is that since it's his word against hers, and without documentation, to err on the side of death puts every man and woman sitting in a nursing home at risk that a less than scrupulous loved one paying for said care will come forward and say:

"Yeah - uh - Aunt Gertie - she told me back in 1993 there that she didn't want no part of dis here nursing home and lying in a bed all day, so - uh - go ahead and stop feedin' the money syphon - I mean, my LOVELY aunt."

With all due respect, I see it as my and every other Christians' responsibility to question people who speak such nonesense. Fact, we do not know whether or not Terri Schiavo said what her husband is claiming. Fact, the man waited five years, then had an epiphany after winning a malpractice suit that his wife did not want to be kept alive in this stuation. Fact there are at least two signed affidavits from nurses that heard this man screaming at his wife, "Why don't you just die b***". It must be nice to feel that you can take such a cavalier attitude toward the sanctity of someone's life. Unborn children are unable to speak for themselves, and their mothers are their legal guardians, does that make abortion right in your eyes? When does it stop christian? My definition of being a Christian is attempting to be Christ-like. Would Christ starve this woman in this case? Yes, I will question your christianity when it is so clearly out of line with the teachings of the bible.

Is it not at least plausible that this man is lying for his own benefit? If you answer yes to that question you cannot ethically allow this woman to die.
