This isn't about me, it's about Terri. And I did give you an answer several times. I'm not a moral coward and have accepted every cross or burden I've been asked to bear. You know nothing about me OR my personal circumstance, do you. Now you answer my questions and give to me the Scripture that allows you to declare Terri's life worthless when God clearly does not.

Well, I went back and checked your posts and you didn't say what you would want for yourself if you were in Terri's condition. You say you "have accepted every cross or burden I've been asked to bear." I'm sure that is true. I am sure you are a courageious man as you contend.

But the test here, according to Jesus, is: "In everything, treat others as you would want them to treat you, for this fulfills the law and the prophets." (Mt 7:13) It is not 'treat them as you have been treated' or 'treat them as you have been able to endure'. It is "as you would want them to treat you."

So, let's try again: If you were in Terri's condition, how would you want them to treat you? Restore the feeding tube and continue the maintenance and the diapers or let you die? Which would you prefer? Surely you can say.

I WANT LIFE. I'M NOT A COWARD.

You have no Scripture to support your stand. This conversation is over.
