It seems to me the Catholic Church should pay for the enormous costs to society involved in keeping people living for decades. I don't recall anything about feeding tubes in the bible.

Yes what is hardly mentioned on these threads is that it takes $80,000 a month to pay for her care. More spent in a month than most households with children earn in a year. That sounds like heroic treatment to me. Then these same people will go on other threads and whine how states across the country are raising taxes and won't cut spending.

There's nothing about antibiotics or defibrillators or a host of other medical advances either. Your statement is idiotic at best, communist otherwise.

The Catholic Church has always paid for and taken care of those who the society has cast off. Even if the parents were'nt willing to (they are) the Church would. Of course this isn't the real issue is it.

Hard to recollect anything from a book you've never opened, isn't it?

Do you recall seeing anything about a State judge having the power to order the death of anyone simply because they are considered an inconvienence in your Bible. I am not Catholic but I detest anyone professing to be Christian
who defames the Catholic church.We do worship the same God
and our Holy Scriptures come from the same Manuscripts.

"I don't recall anything about feeding tubes in the bible."

Where in the bible does it say you are allowed to drive a car?

Why? Do people who oppose starving people to death have an obligation to feed every starving person?

Regardless, The Catholic Church is the largest social service provider in the country.

I don't recall anything about feeding tubes in the bible.

Not exactly, but there's this:

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,"
--Jesus
