coma woman: live or let die

[RD]

In case u hadnt heard about it, here is the full story:

http://edition.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/24/s ... index.html

And for the lazy ones an objective summary:

A braindead woman has been living in hell for 15years. Her parents, two christian americans, want to keep her soul trapped inside the body hoping a miracle from the lord will turn back time. Her husband, an angel of mercy, wants to release it into the godless universe.

The parents have backup from Bush himself and millions of religious americans, but the husband has an even more powerful ally: the atheist god sanity.

What will happen to this woman??

[Vinny Testaverde]

should keep her alive and charge people money to fuck her... thats what jesus would do...

[DaanO]

Hahahahha.

Anyway, if she's actually braindead, there's not gonna be a miracle. Impossible really. I personally think (sorry for sounding disrespectful) that it's a waste of money. I can feel with both parties though, I can imagine the parents just don't want to hear the truth and don't want to finally lose their daughter. The one thing that i think is really bad is how the government is interfering with the case, trying to change the verdict of the court by quickly passing laws and all just for this. Trias politica anyone?

I knew u would start about money Daan. After ur last rant about it being wrong to send money to the tsunami areas, i can see where ur coming from and im grateful u brought up this argument which will convince alot of americans. It is indeed a waste of taxpayers money

If I had been in her place, I would def had wanted the doctors/family to remove the goddamn tube. Or give me a hefty workover with a flamethrower.

[DaanO]

You didn't get it really. I'm not against sending money to Asia, i was against the way things were done now, where things were all out of propertion, and where it was more of a status thing for some people to send money than that those people actually cared. I am not against sending money when done well at all in fact i think it's great.

/sarcasm

anyway, stay on topic. This is far more important than that thing that happened so long ago

[DaanO]

Ack. I guess i've just gotten a little careful after all the discussions that came from that topic

wow. so dont say stuff like that and i wont ban you.

[Minos]

Yeah, let's all pretend we care about her.

[ginsengavenger]

i care about the precedent they are setting.

[Jezpuh]

I'd let her die, tbh. I mean, she's fucking braindead and she's been in a coma for 15 years, which is way too long already. I really don't know why her parents are still fighting. Sure it must be hard as hell, but I wouldn't want to see my kid in coma like that anymore.

[FrieChamp]

I just saw a weeping woman who was protesting against the tube removal, she said something alonge the lines of "why are they doing this to her, I can't take this anymore yaddayadda cry". This was followed by an "emotional" speech of the parents lawyers who compared schiavo's appearance with that of an "Auschwitz detainee".

All this while thousands of people starve to death each day.

The fact that politicians like the Bush brothers exceed each other with political interference and hypocracy in this case, just for sympathy from potential voters, tops it off.

But the truely fucked up thing is the media coverage, which is the cause of all this hysteria. The media could make the president send in the marines when a sloth is about to fall down a tree in New-Guinea to save it, if there is enough reports about it.

[ginsengavenger]

OMG THE SLOTHS ARE IN TROUBLE?!
