This has been a long couple of weeks. I'm just as tired as you are. I've made quite a few enemies, some of whom used to be my friends. I've been asked, numerous times, to go away. So here's the deal. Answer this question honestly and you'll never hear from me on a Terri Shiavo thread again.

It's a stupid question. When I was that age I told my friends to shoot me if I ever got over 50. Well today I'm over 50 and if they start shooting, I'm shooting back.

At 24, I probably would have said, "Shoot me." Would that make it right for my spouse (or anybody) to do that? Of course not.

I have asked my wife to attempt to rehabilitate me first, something that is critically lacking in the Terri case....

I sure as hell wouldn't say, "Honey, please make sure I'm starved to death".

You get a living will. If you don't have the sense to do that, you deserve whatever happens to you.

I've already begun the process of a living will directed at keeping me alive and appointing an attorney to make sure that wish is carried out. I have a right to live, and I'm not going to let some crazy wife or some crazy judge prevent it.

Pull the plug and live YOUR life, I'd say to my wife.

My honest answer is that my life is a gift and I am grateful for every moment of it: even if I am a turnip.

As we get older, most of us have stood at bedsides of loved ones or friends who are hooked up to machines or have feeding tubes.
Every time I've stood there, whoever was standing with me said "I won't ever let that happen to me."
No one wants to live this way.
And personally, I feel as a woman to have my photograph televised a hundred times a day on the cable news channels would be the absolute last shred of dignity stolen from me.

B. In fact I just took my advanced directive to my attorney this afternoon. It says no breathing machines or feeding tubes in case of end stage terminal illness or permanent unconsiousness. In the "other directions" section of the form I specifically noted that if I am in state like Terri's the answer is still no feeding tubes.
To: Hildy
I think I would first ask to see your medical license to determine how you became an expert to figure out a vegetative state.
There are many stroke and other patients who lose the ability to communicate almost at all who are totally in their head.
Looks can be deceiving.

I would not want to be kept in a vegetative state.
The problem with your question is that Terri is quite possibly not in a vegetative state. So the exercise is quite possibly invalid.
To: Hildy
What a beautiful, plump strawman you've constructed.
