I have always believed this was true. It is good this information is being released at this time.
How CONVEEEEEENIENT. Keep grasping at straws. There are things worse than death, my friends. When you accept we are all going to die, maybe you can show some compassion for those who believe death is a better place than where they are now. I believe that's called religion.
Up to 300,000 people are in situations like Terri's? May the Lord protect them.
thats pretty cold and callous. If the findings are correct maybe more research can be done to help these people so they are not left to wither away
Yes, there are. Being kept alive without receiving therapy is one of them. Being treated as if you aren't human or alive, when you are, is another of them. We should be doing more to help people recover, than to keep them in their disabilities. Being disabled is hard enough. It would royally stink to remain there when it's not necessary.

I believe we will die when God says it's time, not some man or some committee. If God wanted Terri, I have no doubt that He could stop her heart from beating this very instant, and her family would know that she died of natural causes and not unnatural ones.
Well said. Thanks for the ping.
That's ridiculous. When man started intervening, we took that decision away from God.
Thanks for the ping.
We were reminded to be careful and sensitive always of what we said around seemingly insensible patients, regardless of setting or situation.
In Terri's case, medical records and photos (including the ones from '91 that were used in the malpractice trials) show that she responds to people, iow, not in a coma, not in PVS.
Don't you see the difference between "intervening" by giving medical treatment, therapy... or "intervening" to purposely cause death? Life is a God-given right and man has no right to "intervene" (Thou shall not kill!) As for whether it is better to be dead than severely disabled, "who has made man's mouth? or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?" Ex. 4:11
BS. He's still God!
You're back!!! Yay! Missed you!
BUMP
Bump!
