Her story is a testimony to the growing philosophy in this country that some, because of their condition, are better off dead than alive. The culture of death CANNOT be allowed to succeed.

In Saudi Arabia, an innocent woman gets 200 lashes for being gang-raped (or WOULD have, had it not been for the world outrage). In America, an innocent woman has her feeding tube removed and is left to starve to death for being a vegetable.....Islam and liberalism become indistinguishable.

Who has guardianship? Was there any sort of written, recorded statement by Lauren, prior to her OD, regarding her wishes in circumstances such as these?
Personally, I offer my prayers for Lauren and for her child. But, at the same time...this decision should be left to the guardian and any recorded wishes of the patient. I know that position will not win any friends on FR, but it is borne of my belief that we, each, have the benefit (or curse) of free will, granted by God, the Almighty. Consequently, if we do not make our wishes known ahead of time, we are acquiescing de facto in the decisions of those appointed to our guardianship should the need arise.
Do others have a voice? Perhaps, but only a voice...not a vote.
I am also NOT blindly granting anything to the government, absent an appointed guardian. IMO, the government has no business in family business...any family business.

I wonder where MYTH stands on this issue.
He toatally dodged the Terri Schiavo case.

I'm not a medical expert, but as I mentioned in a previous Lauren thread, although the following article doesn't mention a coma, firefighter Donald Herbert was evidently in such a state for about 10 years before he woke up.

“Lauren is 23 years of age and, due to a heroin overdose, is now in a persistent vegetative state.”
Terri Shiavo was not in a purposefully SELF INDUCED state of vegetation. This womans’ family has my sympathies while she herself does not.

If the mom is so in favor of not feeding her own daughter, I think she should quit eating right along with her and die beside her if it is such a great idea. The mom is no more alive than her daughter. What’s good for the goose...

I SAW Lauren on tv. She wasn't even bedridden. She was upright, awake and in her wheelchair, she wasn't even confined to one place.
Pope Benedict lost a disabled cousin to the Nazi's. Are we no better than the Third Reich?
ARE WE NO BETTER THAN HITLER'S GERMANY???????
