FORCING someone to "go home to Heaven" is your idea of compassion?! God have Mercy!

Let's just focus on what YOU would want. If you were in Terri's condition, What would you want to have done to you? Would you prefer the stomach pump, the nutritional slurry and the diapers or Heaven?

Unless we agree on what WE would want, how can we know what we should do for Terri under the Golden Rule (Mt 7:12)?

Let me start. For me (not anyone else, just me), were I in Terri's condition (howsoever we might each describe it), I would definitely want to go to Heaven and be with the Lord. Not even a close call.

How about the rest of you?

Would you prefer the stomach pump,

First lets get the truth. Terri had a G-tube. She was fed 3 times a day. It worked by gravity.

and the diapers

Lots of elderly use Depends. Do you believe they lead worthless lives?

You are so far off the mark. No one ASKS to be disabled. It becomes a test of courage for some. Others are cowards. Character shows.

The Scripture is a nice touch but doesn't work. I want you to show me where God tells us we have the RIGHT to force a healthy woman into Heaven when He hasn't yet called her. Not one of your opinion has yet shown me that killing an innocent is allowed by God because of OUR human perceptions.

Actually, if it would break my parents' hearts and leave the stain of murder on several other souls, no, I would not want to go to Heaven on those terms. Not even a close call.
