Cool Chick,

You miss my point. We can never know what it FEELS like to be that person. We know what it LOOKS like from the outside, but the other is impossible. I was unaware of your situation and by no means am I trying to tell you I understand that.

Her husband has said she would not want to live like this, friends had also said they heard the same....

The courts ruled as such...it's over. I'm so very very sorry, but it's got to be accepted now.....

Please....pray for her soul and remember she has been called to God (a long long time ago).

Like I said CC, I am 99% sure I'de want to die as well. I am just saying there is a chance peole in this situation are comfortible, in a way we cannot imagine. Does that make sense? So even if she said what you and I say now she may feel different now that she is actually experiencing it. I'm just saying....

Here's something I thought was sadly funny. This is from the affidavit of the so-called expert neurologist and Christian bioethicist that supports Jeb Bush's latest effort to seize control of this woman.

"Although Terri did not demonstrate during our 90-minute visit compelling evidence of verbalization, conscious awareness or volitional behaviour, yet the visitor has the distinct sense of the presence of a living human being who seems at some level to be aware of some things around her."

What horsepucky. And this is the best new "evidence" that the Governor of FL could muster.

This woman has no mental activity left. Her brain has turned to liquid. Her EEG is flat - as in no electrical activity, like a corpse.

If my wife was in this situation, I would do everything I could to let her go to God in peace.

I truly believe it is time to allow some privacy and dignity.
A sad scenario that has played out over many years.

That's kind of sweeping isn't it? I'm conservative and Christian, and I promise, I'm not interested in controlling you at all. Heck, some people have even said I'm a likable guy, once you get to know me.

My wife is a Christian too. No one that's met her hasn't liked her - she's that kind of person. For that matter, her whole family is like that. And now that I think about it, I have some Christian friends that are DARN nice people too. For that matter, I've never met anyone that fits the evil profile portrayed on this board so frequently while at church.

Just saying...

They already are - various polls show numbers in the 80% range who think congress and president bush have no business here.

THAT is a mandate. SmileWavy
