Reply #303: Being abobut the same age that Terry was when she lost her brain... [View All]

[jab105]

and being someone whose major beef with the democratic party is the right to life issue (don't start with me on that now)...I'm anti-death penalty, against abortion, and vegetarian...I'm pretty damn consistent...

I can say, almost anyone, ANYONE with sane mind would say that they would rather die...at this point, she is no longer remembered for being the PERSON that she was, she is remembered for being a vegetable...would anyone want that? She isn't "alive" because your brain is what really makes you alive...it is what makes you uou...

As far as my husband go...are you crazy!! Demand that he stay with me when I am not "alive" (as I described above) any more...I would want my husband to move on with his life...14 years...if I loved my husband, I wouldn't want him to be miserable with a shell of a person, I'd want him to find love...

There are reflexes that a person has even when they're brain isn't working...that is what you see in Terry Schiavo...you may be moved by the way she "responds" when her father says hi to her, or when they tell her a joke...but how many other times does she not move at all when they do the same thing...its not a "response" at all...it is a reflex...she does those movements all the time...

I just cant imagine that anyone would want to be remembered in this way...and no, starvation in her condition is not painful at all, its one of the most humane ways to go...
