Schiavo Thread Part Deux

[DRoseDARs]

As long as we both agree she's a turnip.

[Verto]

She fails the most basic test.

I spam, therefore I am.

[Bill3000]

Well, she certainatly isn't sentient anymore.

Ya know, why did we restart this thread when the other one was locked?

The last one was closed because it went over 500 posts.

Anyways, my stance in smiley format:



Treating her like a "vegetable" or non-person:

Starving her:

leting her die:

Giving her a swift, clean, and painless death:

[Elok]

Fair enough. Do we know who does stand to inherit if not the husband, or if there is something to inherit (having read MtG's post)? That's the only thing about it, based on what little I've heard, that really bugs me, that the husband of all people is getting to decide for some reason, despite having clearly moved on. If he has the potential for personal gain he should not have the deciding say in the matter all to himself no matter what state she's in.

Her soul has certainly already left by now, years ago even. What's left is a useless husk of Human flesh that's needlessly soaking up resources.

Thinking the body has to completely die before the soul can move on

Yeah, and your spouse shouldn't inherit your stuff when you die either.

[Capt Dizle]

According to an AP report, Jeb Bush and his Dept of Social Services have petioned a Florida court for custody, based in part on a statement from a doctor that did not treat or examine her.

If that is granted then the tube goes back in and the issue continues to be a political football. Or rather, Terri will.

Thats not right.

Take your bible nonsense else where, thanks.

[Bill3000]

By the way, she'll die from dehydration, not starvation.

[Sava]

actually I heard kidney failure before that

Well, normally, your spouse isn't the one who gets to decide that you die, unless you've clearly and unambiguously expressed your intent in that regard with a living will.

Plus your spouse doesn't normally remain your spouse and in your will if he/she has moved in with someone else and had a couple of kids with that person, unless you're really generous and/or a bit delusional.
