The Terri Schiavo thing

[=D.C.L.I=Everest]

[/font][font=Courier][font=Impact]If you feel as if I attacked you, I apologise. I actually sort of praised you for having what most of us would consider out-of-the-way opinions. Too bad you missed that. Anyway, I definitely didn\'t mean any of what I said as a personal attack towards you, but what you said about the money struck me - and still does, pardon me saying again - nonsensical gibberish.

To me, the thing is: to what extent can a person that lives as a plant (persistent vegetative state) still be considered a human being? You say: someone who will get better... I doubt her condition changed much in all those years, lack of therapy/meditation or not.

If she was diagnosed with PVS 15 years ago, it would make sense for her husband to use his right as a guardian to end her - and not to forget his - misery, in order for him to be able to move on with his life. I bet the poor guy still asks himself everyday why she couldn\'t\'ve just died. Instead, he\'s been suffering the loss of his wife for 15 years.

No one could have predicted that she\'d become a vegetable. Well, I guess you might\'ve.
