I find it hard to believe that O.J. Simpson is a free man, but he is. The problem is that we are taking his word that her wishes were to die. Also, since he is the legal guardian, he is the person who has made such an effort to keep her from having treatment. With treatment, there is a strong possibility that she would not need the feeding tube, she would be able to eat normally, but he won't let that happen. My point is that if we cannot trust his word, and I don't believe we can, then we have to make assumptions. If we have to make assumptions, then we should not assume the irreversible path of death. If she is killed through starvation, and a medical breakthrough happens in the future that would allow her to regain communication, then she will not benefit because she will be dead, but if he is responsible for her current condition, he will benefit from her death. _______________________________________________ RTF mailing list RTF@rolltidefan.net http://rolltidefan.net/mailman/listinfo/rtf_rolltidefan.net
