would she live if the ventilators just were turned off?...would she survive if tube feedings weren't being poured into her?....assuming she has gotten multiple pneumonias and uti's would she be alive if they didn't pump iv antibiotics in to her?

just because we "can" keep people "alive" on machines it doesn't mean its a wise or moral thing to do.....it doesn't mean its the right thing, or the thing God intended....

it seems God intended for us to live and to die.....

Are you suggesting that she should be starved?

Plenty of people need ventilators for a period of time, they can then be weaned off of them.

would she survive if tube feedings weren't being poured into her?

Would ANYBODY survive if they were denied food and nutrition?

assuming she has gotten multiple pneumonias and uti's would she be alive if they didn't pump iv antibiotics in to her?

Millions of people have infections that would kill them without antibiotics (because of the ongoing "war" between infection and antibiotics, many infections are often far more dangerous today than they were prior to penicillin) and then go on to live normal lives.

just because we "can" keep people "alive" on machines it doesn't mean its a wise or moral thing to do.

It is NEVER moral to kill someone.

it doesn't mean its the right thing, or the thing God intended.

Well, I'm not a Christian Scientist and that means I believe that God INTENDED for man to make medical advances and develop things like antibiotics and feeding tubes.

By YOUR criteria, you shouldn't take any medicine for any reason ever again -- not even aspirin, you must suffer as God intended.

it seems God intended for us to live and to die.

Of course He did, but Jahi IS NOT DEAD.

Cherry, I’m with you. This is life?? I followed this case in CA when it was happening; I think the parents are nuts. The hospital said, ‘There are things we know that would make our case very clear, but we are not legally allowed to say them.’ I’m glad it’s not my vote, however.
