vegetative state for more than a month..or two months..they would like
to be taken off life support, then that's fine.
This is not the issue we are dealing with,however.
As for people killing themselves?
I really couldn't care less if Americans kill themselves.
I do care if benefactors of any health system which my taxes support
kill themselves, however.
It's about the money, not about religion or right/wrong.
I am also assuming from what I could pick out of this diatribe that you
aren't talking about terminally and painfully ill patients taking their
own lives, or assisted suicides.

Dude ok, this went through court for 10 years.... 10 years.... the
details have been fleshed out over and over and over and over and over
andover and over and over and over for 10 years. Its all in court docs,
a court finally ruled that the husband was being honest with both their
wishes. People have to respect the wishes of a person be it verbal or
written when it comes to a living will. Its not a matter if its ok for
her to die. For all her evil parents no she could be blinking and
looking at them screaming let me die for Christ's sake. Maybe she wants
to get to heaven instead of living in a living hell where she has no
meaningful hope of a decent life. They used to say that about retarded
kids decades ago used to recommend you abort them, because they had no
hope for a meaningful life. Its been proven that today that's untrue.
Maybe in 40 years we'll be able to bring someone in a vegetative state
back to some degree of dignity and have the ability to lead a normal
life. Now we can't so its not far to keep her like this, if she was an
animal she would be put down because its cruel to keep them like that.
And yes its cruel to keep her like that, her parents want her around
(just thinking for arguments sake that they are not just interested in
money and that they really are parents who care). If my daughters are in
that state and it is not my decision no matter how hard I want to think
it is, I would respect her husbands decision whether it was to let her
pass or to keep her alive. Though I would say
it would be hard for me to look at my daughter and see her and I would
become hopeful. I would look at her like those parents look at the girl
and I would say ohHHH she is making progress. Because without hope there
is despair, and people always need hope so they say ohh I see progress
etc. Its simple baseless hope gel no matter how you try to be clever or
use giant words from a thesaurus. Its another situation or its not
anyone else's place but the husbands to decide the fate after the court
realized there was no misintent meant to her. He's only human for
finding another companion at a point you have to move on. Myself &
Kimber have both said we don't want to be kept alive, we've both said we
wanted the other to move on and find someone else to be happy with. When
you love someone you want them happy because you are (at few and far
times in-between in life) realistic and deadly honest at times. You're
groovy gel but come on think about it what would you want?
Do you think you as a human have the right to decide what happens to
you? And do you think you have the right to tell your future Mrs. Gel
that this is what you want done? And do you think that Mrs. Gel has the
right to tell your parents to piss off (if they are alive hopefully I
don't know so don't get mad if they are passed if so very sorry) and
that her decision is the final decision in the matter? Its really a sad
situation I'm all for people staying alive if that is what they want.
Base point do you think people have the right to decide if they live or
die? This case aside just in general?
