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?

Please, this is not a flame or a smart*ss reply, just want your opinion. I always figured God was responsible for medical technology. If you take advantage of it, wouldn't that have God's ok? Just wondering, not trying to stir anything.
I agree with you. I've been in that position in the past couple of years and its hard enough without the Randall Terry's of the world sticking their noses in the tent to raise money for their cause. Piss off a few Right to LIfers and fill the till. That is all Terry cares about. Randall Terry cant even manage his own family. Divorce. His kids hate him. I think a couple are gay. The guy should focus on the family.
a feeding tube is not a "man-made machine."

And the above situation has nothing to do with the Schavio case. There were no legal documents and big disagreement about wether they even Had a Loving Marriage.
