Should the tube be reinserted?

[DoubleU]

Liberalism dictates that four family members don't love their child/sister as much as a husband who has moved on with his life.
Blood is usually thicker then water, except in this case, a family who sees life in their child/sister are horrible, horrible human beings and a husband who wants his "ex" wife dead is a loving person.

BTW they started giving Terri morphine, because she is brain dead, feels nothing, and starvation isn't painful. Not enough morphine to kill her and end this suffering, but enough to stop the non-existent hunger pains she doesn't feel because she is brain dead.

I don't get it, I really don't get it.

DoubleU, I couldn't have said it better myself!

I'm feeling good today. I feel like picking at little details in your post.


Nothing is helping her breath.

Is it possible that you are referring to how Michael maybe said that he would not allow Terri's teeth to be brushed?


Micael Schiavo has moved on with his life. He has a women, and kids.

So he practices polygamy?

The rest is all the same crap that I keep hearing. And frankly, I'm sick of it.

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. (AP) -- They say film doesn't lie, but does that mean it tells the truth? The public sees fleeting videotaped images of Terri Schiavo, appearing to many to turn toward her mother's voice and smile. They hear what sound like moans and laughter. They watch her head move up and down, seemingly following the progress of a brightly colored Mickey Mouse balloon. And often they ask: How could anyone conclude but that she is aware of her surroundings?

The answer lies not so much within Schiavo's brain as in the minds of those who observe her. As social beings, humans are hard-wired to examine another's face for clues to what the person behind it is thinking. They naturally associate vocal tones with specific moods. They detect meaningful words in nonsense utterances.

Yeah, I don't get it either!

And another question for the liberals, why don't all the starving Ethiopian children look "peaceful" and "beautiful"?

I heard on some talk radio today it helps with the shut down of the organs. SO WOULD PUTTING THE WHOLE BOTTLE IN AT ONCE!

I'm not going to vote because the poll makes it sound morbid to pick the second one. "No. She should be left to die."
Is that not the root of your pitiful argument?
According to the U.S. News and World Report:" Instead of the traditional emphasis on the sanctity of life, bioethics began to stress the quality of life, meaning that many [disabled] humans, young and old, don't qualify for personhood because their life has lost value."

It continued on to say that:"There is a kind of condenscension towards the views of the general public and a very real danger that what constitutes meaningful life among the intellectual elite will be imposed on people as the only standard by which the value of human life is measured."

It is in my view assisted suicide.

Thanks for quoting. Not sure what you were trying to prove. Frankly, it isn't a matter of taking people who are PVS and killing them because they cannot contribute anything positive to life anymore. Terri said to people if she was on a machine like let's say for instance a feeding tube that she would want to be disconnected. I posted proof. She doesn't want or DIDN'T want to live this way. Michael is doing the right thing.
