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.

WC: 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?

I guess my question wasn't clear. Let's not shout or call names or talk about 'forcing' people. Let's not debate about whether the slurry went in by 'gravity flow' or was pumped in by syringe or whether God has called her or not. Just a simple question.

If you were in Terri's condition, what would you want? Continued maintenance by feeding tube and diapers or to go home to Heaven?

I've told you what I would want for myself. How about you?
