No offense, but if the whole point of this forum is for you all to huddle together and agree with one another, you could all be doing much better things with your time. If Michael is doing this for purely selfish reasons, than, yes, it's atrocious. But how do you prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt? How do you prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Teri's wishes weren't to be kept alive while in such a hopeless state? And it is hopeless, that is just a fact most people need to accept. I haven't written a living will, but I've let my family (I'm not married) know that if, when I leave work today, I end up in a clinically hopeless state, let me go. I would sure hope, in that situation, that the decision would be left in their hands and not in the hands of the state. Who, in my humble opinion, have NO place in decisions life and death.
Sorry Moses, I thought this was the "FREE republic". So here I am. By the way, Michael and I aren't two peas a pod, he's the husband...the HUSBAND, remember that, MARRIAGE, that whole relationship thing that has nothing to do with YOU.
I guess I'm just going to have to be confused about exactly WTF you're talking about. Regardless, I think all of you are wasting WAY too much energy on this issue that is NONE of your business. But as usual, you've all fallen lock step in line with what a group of pols in Washington decided to make YOUR issue. If Teri could, she'd give you all the bird.
