Will Terry Schiavo be killed ?

Of course not, Shav, he can do what you do in the sewers of Holland. But I do think he has effectively brought into question his rights as a husband to speak for his wife.

You are wrong legally and morally; a husband who didn't try to honor his wife's wishes in such a manner would be a poor husband indeed. Stop with the self-righteous blather, Del.

And you think fathering children with another woman while his wife breathes is "honoring her wishes"? Yes, I suppose you do think that and I am being self-righteous. I'll stop now, N1. It's none of my business anyway.

I would think that she draws breath through the advancement of medical technology, and through very little will of her own.

She's not being killed. She's being allowed to die. If she has any cognitive function left at all, there's a way better than even money chance she's been driven insane by being imprisoned in that shell of a body. You want to talk about horror? How about the horror of being made to endure "life" like that? That's horror.

Actually, no. She appears quite capable of drawing her own breath. It's eating and drinking she has a problem with.

You know something, my mother suffered terribly when she had cancer. And if she was being kept alive by machines, or worse - just laid in a bed like Terry Schiavo - and some anti-abortionists took up the cause of keeping her alive artificially - and that's what a feeding tube does - I would have their asses. Every one of them.

Looks like the rel ...[text shortened]... ry best of those K Street lobbyist sharks to advance their cause. They're using Terry Schiavo.

Yep. What he said.

Why do you think that Terri Shiavo is still alive? Seriously, Ivanhoe, what reason is there for thinking that the body we see on T.V. and in the papers [b]is Terri Shiavo?[/b]

A nurse who worked with Terry Schiavo stated on CNN she was able to communicate, say words like "mummie", "help me" and "pain".

This seems to be a circular argument, without the feeding tube, she would cease to breath. She is in my oppinion, only being kept alive by medical technology.

Too bad she can't say "Leave me alone".

Ivanhoe, I can assure you that this nurse no longer works with her and if she did, she would be immediately fired for violating patient confidentiality. In fact, if this is the case, she violated HIPPA regulations and her company could be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars.
