It appears that her ability to swallow food (far different from swallowing saliva) is beyond her abiility (particularly due to the extent of her brain damage).
It is hype that she could get better, that she could get better with therapy.
Her parents have been prolonging her process of death for years. What is so horrific about letting their daughter go to a better place?
I am a Christian.
I believe the Schindlers should let their daughter go.
I believe:
Jesus was (and is) the Son of God.
He was divine, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life.
Furthermore, he died on the cross and rose again to serve with His Father.
You're a Christian who's like the pre-Christians who starved the mentally defective. Christianity changed that (read, e.g., How the Irish Saved Civilization); unfortunate that there are self-described Christians today who are deserting the historic christian ethic in favor of the neo-paganism advanced by attorney Felos and Jack Kevorkian.
Perhaps, perhaps not.
I am not advocating neo-paganism.
Pagans exult the body of man over the spirit.
Christians know they have a *real* home in heaven with God.
I am not advocating starving the mentally defective. If/when a person's body cannot process food on their own, they are incapable of eating. God has created the body to function and NOT to function when it is time to let go.
Terri Schiavo has lived long, long beyond normalcy, due to medical intervention, scientific and medical advancements that man has chosen subverting God's plan.
Yes you are, you dolt. Read your own post.
