coma woman: live or let die

[kleinluka]

its pointless to keep feeding her.

let her die.

[Mazy]

I wouldnt really call the state she's in alive: In that position I think I'd rather just die rather than living a sad life like that, plus I think people would feel alot better if somebody was dead rather than being kept alive like that. I'd go as far as say that its inhumane to keep somebody alive this way

[JynxDaddy]

She can't live anything close to a fulfilling life. She is pretty much robotic.

die.

[KungFuSquirrel]

She can't live period. Her brain has liquefied. There's a cat scan image of her head with a gaping hole in the middle of her head.

I just love how every court has sided with the husband to date. Parents appeal. Court rules against. Parents appeal. court rules against. Parents cry to congress, somehow get them to call an emergency session giving jurisdiction to a federal court. Federal court sides with the husband. Parents appeal to the supreme court. Court sides with the husband.

Gee, think we might have a legal precedent here?

People can lie to themselves all they want, but this woman is dead already and has been for years. And we have abortion rights activists plotting to smuggle food and water into her room. Riiiiiight...

IMO, there are MUCH larger issues that are at hand, this is just an example of a story that the media has used because its a slow news week. Its completely blown out of proportion. What the media is making this about is whether THIS woman should live or die, and not what the larger picture is, which is that other people's lives who are in similar situations are on the line here, not just hers.

SHE said that if SHE was in a persistent vegetative state, she'd want to die. What the hell is her parents' problem? Do they not get that her wish is to die? They keep saying things like, "everytime I go to sleep I dream about her, she can't die!" Excuse me, but did you ever think about what your daughter wanted? Selfish, selfish people.

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.

Frie wins.

Oh how I hate these hypocrats, like those ativists who are against transgenical food. This is a bit of off-topic I know, but transgenical food has been tested and tested for years and its prooved that its harmless and they still are against it. We could save millions of starving people with this food.

I saw at penn and teller the other day that greenpeace made some poor africa country to refuse tons of food donations, just because it was transgenical. And while there are people dying other are like "aw I won't eat this or that cuz its harmful for my health".

I just hate when people do that. A braindead person's death seems more horrible than thousands of african children dying everyday cuz their government refused food because of a bunch of idiots at greenpeace.

Evrything is possible with Bush.

Anyways, yesterday on CNN i saw a christian american who was angry at Jeb Bush because he didnt intervene. It was obvious to me and probably all atheists that this man was possessed by satan. His nefarious and infernal view of christianity is more opprobrious than Bin ladens. Guantanamo bay was designed for mongrels like him.

Another christian said if Terri (the coma womans name) heard the bible chanted to her for 2years straight that she would recover fully. This scared me because it proves something i have been suspecting ever since i read halfway thru Davinci's code (a bestselling biography of the history of christianity): the bible has been enfeebled by the vatican for so long the world has been misbegotten.

Who voted her feeding tube should be put back?

[JynxDaddy]

Hey, wouldn't this be like keeping a bowl of pudding on life support?

[D3adlode]

Fuck's sake, some Christians (read.. some, not all) are really fucking stupid. There was this program about these Christian parents who's son went missing about 30 years ago. They recently went back to the last place he was seen and they were like 'Oh he'll be there, Jesus has foretold it' or whatever. Fucking prats.

Anyway, I'd let her die, it's inhumane to keep her going, 15, 30, 50 years will make no difference, she's dead and that's all there is to it, they have to let go.

That was so wrong, but I still laughed

[DaanO]

it's funny cause it's true

[The Postman]

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

You're my hero.

Seriously, she's not alive right now. She's brain dead, completely. Let her die.
