But, I ask again, are you advocating euthanasia?

And I ask you, would you be okay with removing the feeding tube if there was a written legal document signed by Terri prior to her collapse saying that would be her wish. There are a lot of people that dont think she should have that right, the Pope for example. Randall Terry for another.

Other people believe in the sanctity of marriage until an issue like this comes up. Loving family members pull feeding tubes every day. If I were in that situation, I would want the tube pulled and my wife knew that before we signed the legal documents. My very Southern Baptist mother would want the feeding tube removed if she were ever in that situation. In any case, the person is moving on to a better place, rather than being kept alive by a man-made machine.

One day medical technology will allow us to prolong life indefinitely. Why are some people so selfish that they want to keep their loved ones from God?

I would have NO trouble with it. That is NOT, however, what happened.
