What would you do?

Why bother wasting my breath? You're a brick-headed individual from up north CONVINCED that you know everything when infact you know nothing as your "evidence" is nothing but half-truth documents printed on the new york times or whatever and is biased anyway.

Please be specific as to how my quotes from doctors saying, "she's in a persistent vegetative state" and from the courts stating, "we have concluded she's in a persistant vegetative state" and from more doctors, even those outside of the Terri case, saying, "those in the persistent vegetative state can't feel pain" and more from the courts stating, "we have concluded that Terri would have wanted to die" IS IN ANY REMOTE WAY TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. And you call ME brick-headed, when you refuse to hear even the most basic facts of the case? Good god.

And it's not a political issue, it's a humanitarian issue.

You're right: it's not a political issue. But it's sure as hell not a moral issue, either. The SOLE issue here is whether Terri would have wanted to die or not, and the courts say yes. What's wrong with that?

You think you're so sure of yourself? Go to a hospital one day. Take your smart happy pappy ass down to a hospital and sit there, just sit there, and watch those people that have done nothing wrong but have been cursed to just lay there in a bed and watch the years fly by and they can't even say "kill me" because for some reason or another those "conservatives" God couldn't give them a mercy killing and your "liberal" goverment wouldn't.

I know doctors. My uncle was a surgeon for the Navy. My aunt was a psychiatrist. One of my teachers was a doctor(and psychologist) who worked in trauma before. I've studied medical ethics, and seen more horrible pictures than most people could ever conceive of. Don't give me this soapbox bull that I don't understand what the hell goes on in a hospital.

Sit there and watch them, sit there and look into those glass eyes, then you tell me what you know and don't know

Well, you don't know a helluva lot, as far as I can see. Let me ask you this: do you think Terri's in a "persistent vegetative state?"


EDIT: woah, who deleted his post?

EDIT2: woah, his second-to-last post was deleted too. Is this a mod or does he concede his complete lack of an argument?

EDIT3: ok, nevermind. xD
