I see. Your original post was intended to be...... funny?

Tell us, would you find such a thing funny if it were posted about YOUR sister, YOUR mum, YOUR daughter?

Would the answer be 'probably not' or 'definitely not'?

There isn't a thing in the world funny about some guy trying to kill his wife. Moreover, what's happening to Terri could well happen to ANY ONE of us.

What this problem screams out for is awareness in the general public, action from concerned citizens and serious thought to what it is we consider humane and compassionate treatment of vulernable persons.

Not adolescent cracks.

Please feel free to jump in the lake.

My Mom or sister wouldn't be in that condition because they would be allowed to die, and we dang sure won't let a bunch of bible-thumping ex-addicts decide that for us because we all have living wills that specifically state that no life-support or forced feeding is wanted.

If you don't want what is happening to your dear,sainted Terri to happen to you, them get a living will you moron.

"What this problem screams out for is awareness in the general public, action from concerned citizens and serious thought to what it is we consider humane and compassionate treatment of vulernable persons."

Ahhhh...the classic "we are doing it for those who cannot do it for themselves" line.Great way to muscle your way into the affairs of others....and of course, you get to pick who can and cannot help themselves and must be a "vunerable person".

Hitler would be proud of you.
