Hey, now, Hildy, wait a minute. I took a little gander back through the posts. Here's a view of the reverse.
Your post 236 was the reply to Sun's 228.
Sun's 228 was the reply to your 170.
Your 170 was in reply to my 168. (This is where you mentioned my selfishness)
My 168 was in response to your 166, which you directed to syriacus.
Here's what you posted in 166:
****Would you fight to live like Terri lived for 10-12 years? Let's say what the autopsy said was true...blind...almost no brain activity (Ill giving your side the benefit of the doubt on that one). Would you beg to live like that? If you walked into a hospital and saw Terri in a bed, would you turn to your partner and say, Hey, if I'm ever in that condition, make sure no matter what happens, you keep my body alive? Please, please be honest.****
You were not referring to people who were clinically dead, you were referring to Terri. She was not clinically dead until March 31, 2005.
You were talking about people with severe disabilities and whether or not someone would want to live like that. I responded that I would want to be kept alive, and loved and cared for. You remarked that was selfish on my part, because of the burden I would be to those caring for me.
Just because there's a lot of space in between each of these posts, don't forget there's a *paper* trail. Don't try to change what you were talking about. None of us were talking about clinically dead people.
I'm not going to debate Schiavo again. I'm just telling you that 99.9% of people would not want to live like her. And mostly because they would want their family to go on with their lives. Just ask any lawyer what people say.
Thanks for the background.
