Many years ago my dad had cancer, and toward the end my mom pulled him out of the hospital (or hospice, or whatever it was) and brought him home to be with his family. I guess in some people's eyes she'd be a murderer, because if he'd stayed in the hospice they'd have forced a tube down his throat and given him "life" for just a bit longer.

At some point it's just time to let go. You have people who believe in God and Christ and the eternal realm, yet they'll fight tooth and nail to keep souls from returning home. I don't understand it.

Maybe this girl's mother just wants to let her go back to God.

Give me a break. Have you never heard "from natural conception to natural death?" There is nothing natural about starving and dehydrating disabled people which are note same as terminally ill patients. Terminally ill patients lose their appetite (usually) as part of their dying process. It is not the same as purposefully withholding nutrition and hydration from disabled people who are candidates for therapy and are deserving of love and dignity. If candidates for rehabilitation are exited out, it is MURDER. Natural death isn't murder and of course you must realize we know that. We do not fear or deny death.

We oppose MURDER.

Since you brought up God, Thou Shalt Not Kill is still a commandment last time I looked. A feeding tube is just a way to eat Unfortunately, death lawyers have found a way to turn a feeding tube into an excuse to bump off disabled people. They are called death lawyers for a reason.

You are missing a critical point here:
Lauren IS NOT dying, but denying her food and water WILL KILL HER.

To compare Lauren to a person dying of a terminal illness is nonsensical. It is no more legitimate than saying that a newborn infant should be denied milk.
