Why is what you would want relevant? Most religious people believe that God is in charge here, and that He commands that we love one another. Providing nourishment and hydration falls in the category of love. And, it's not even as though the taxpayer were going to have to foot the bill, as her parents are ready, able, and willing to do so.

People are making this case far more complicated than it is-- do we allow her loved ones to give this woman food and water, or do we disallow it? The answer to this question speaks volumes about us as a society.

Well, why "What I would want is relevant" is because that is what the poll was asking people, I was just simply answering the question.

Yes God is in control, and yes family members do love and care for their own. However, the court gave Michael Schiavo guardianship of his wife, even though her family stated that they would care for her.

So the courts made a bad decision years ago. Micheal Schiavo obviously lied when he said he would go to nursing school and care for his wife at home. These facts should have been enough to give guardianship to the parents. But that hasn't happened. Now she has been deteriorating for 15 years. Its very sad.
