Schiavo Pt. Four

[Wycoff]

I didn't care about her when she was "alive," and I don't care about her now that she's dead. I'm a little glad that she's finally (officially) dead, as the long national soap opera is finally over. Now the media can focus on Jacko again.

I just hope that, if I ever suffer severe brain damage, someone will be kind enough to end my life. I don't care if my brain stem is still functioning, I don't even care if I'm still able to communicate on some crude, basic level. I don't want to be remembered as an incontinent, brain damaged shell of a man (yes, I realize that, with that statement, I've left myself open to the classic "how would that be any different than you are now?" joke)

supposedly Michael told her if she got fat like that again, he'd divorce her. I'm not sure I can believe that. But it's possible he said that.

Yeah, I don't buy that rumor, either, as she was chunky in her wedding photos.

Well, I'll oblige:

How would that be any different than you are now?

Oh god, that woman is still conscious of everthing that's happening to her.

[DinoDoc]

Well the doctors wanted her to die.

I'm not a big fan of the state paying to keep this person alive. That's worse than being paralyzed. That's worse than Stephen Hawking. At least Stephen Hawking can communicate with the outside world and still maintain and create theories.

If I get ALS, I want someone to kill me.

The point was in your misssus' original post which I quoted. Perhaps you'd like to go back and read it? In addition, perhaps you'd like to reread the post to which you responded, so that you can understand the superciliousness of your post.

I'm showing disdain?

Yep for the entire 4 threads on this subject.

ACK!

That's a valid option but that isn't what the lady stated was her wish.

[chequita guevara]

I know. Sucks she has to live with that decision.

She's gonna die che. The doctors wore the daughter down.

[chequita guevara]

I wonder if she still wants to live.

They can't even do the "blink once for life, twice for death" test.

It's simple. They ask: "If you want to die, do nothing"

I just want these threads to end.
