You can't compare this to Hawkins....that just makes you seem extreme yourself. He's a Noble Prize winner that can communicate effectivly enough to write at the highest levels, he has no brain damage, rather his is probly to big!!!
So mentally handicapped people are fair targets. What is the cut off point,in your learned opinion?
In my view,Hawkins is good example because all the right to die people talk about are "quality of life" issues,so the quality of his life could easily be judged by others to be minimal. Not everyone will consider a life so restricted physically to be worthwhile only because he can be involved in intellectual pursuits.
That's the problem right there....It is dangerous to start deciding what is quality of life,different strokes for different folks.And then you end up with all sorts of definitions and it may be that Reeves or Hawkins don't make the cut.

I certainly CAN.
He's handicapped TOO.
WHO knows what Terri could have offered. We'll never know because Godless people like you chose DEATH for those who are not Godless liberals.
You indict yourself with your reply to me and don't even see it.

BTW, my husband's brother is retarded, brain damaged and we wouldn't STARVE him to death. It's not his fault. We all PITCH IN and pay for his therapy since it is not covered by insurance. His brother is now in his 40's and has the mentality of a 6 year old. We have been paying for his care WITHOUT complaint for years.
