Do you not see the similarites in the way the medical profession deems some as hopeless, or too expensive to care for?

Haleigh is lucky that she hasn't been denied food and water yet. Thank God that she was able to breathe without that respirator when push came to shove. The permission has already been granted to remove her feeding tube. It may still happen. Hopefully not.

If saying this makes me willfully ignorant or kookily obsessed, then I guess I'm guilty as charged. I'd rather be labelled either one, than to deny that there are similarities between Terri and Haleigh.

I'd say that generally speaking, there can be huge differences in many situations while similarites (sic) are still to be found.

Beyond that, I have nothing to discuss with you.
I frankly have neither the time nor the patience to waste on any dialogue; I won't change my mind and you certainly won't either.

Another similarity between Terri and Haleigh is that the same people who tried to save Terri are now trying to save Haleigh, and the same people who disrupted the Terri threads are disrupting this thread. People tend to be consistent. You either respect life, or you don't.

The ensure for feeding tubes runs 8 to ten bucks a day. Such an expense! (sarcasm).

And trafficking from hospital to hospice NIXING rehabilitation is harmful to the patient and to society.

Rehabilitation works wonders. Why do they place the hospice card before they refer for rehab? After rehab, EXPENSES may go way down.......
