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.

Would they also want to die like that? No food, no water, not even to quench their parched lips? Did you even bother to ask that?

The comment about asking lawyers is priceless. I probably trust lawyers even less than I do doctors. What a lawyer thinks has absolutely no meaning for me.

That hilarious, Hildy, there is that .1 percent in poor Terri's former condition who do want to continue living. And they are being denied human rights in what some call the "freest country" on the planet. You are still shilling for euthanasia. Wonder if you would change your mind if you were on the alleged "deathbed." I'm sure you would say that you would not.

You're thinking is terribly shallow, Hildy. You forget the strong will to live. People would prefer to be strong and healthy rather than be like Terri, but once in such a state most people exhibit a remarkable will to live.
