Pull the plug and keep it pulled
Plug her back in and leave it in
What do you think. Pull her plug or No?
Looks like Congress is trying to stick it back in her.
Ok better question.
Given the same circumstance, could you starve your own child to death?
Yes, I could.
17 USC § 1008 Prohibition on certain infringement actions:
No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the noncommercial use by a consumer for making digital musical or analog musical recordings.
Another the way to ask the question is how would you like to be kept alive in that state?

Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".
How would you know you were?
It wouldn't matter. Going from a full life to a place where she is now....No Thank You! I have all my shit signed at dated, T's crossed I's dotted, I will NEVER be in her circumstances.
I was looking for the option, "pull the plug and let her starve... then start feeding her again until she was well... then do it again..." Unfortunately, this option was not available.
"There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice… The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd."
So you'd give her the ol' in and out, in and out? Just where are they stickin that tube, anyways?

pretty sad they have to take this woman's health to make a name for themselves....
Exactly... Following the events of the day this will be re-insertation of the feeding tube #3...Originally Posted by Wolfie
I am all for the right to die, but if this family wants to pay for all the medical costs to keep alive a person that is functionally dead, sobeit (I think this may be my new word... i am coining it right now). If there were no feeding tubes, she would already be dead. I think that congress is meddling in God's will... did he/she intend for her to live like this? He made her brain-damaged so that she couldn't eat, so that she would starve, so that she would force people with antiquated notions over life to re-evaluate their beliefs, and what God's intent was... That God is a joker... he is so fucking with these people.

in the darkness there will be light
My grandfather is 95 years old, and has decided to give up on life. He can hardly see, and hearing is nearly as difficult. He lives with my aunt, who has been a nurse for over 40 years. All of his children (except my father) have decided to let him go as he wishes. He's too tired to do much, he can't see the T.V. (his favorite thing) and basicly sleeps all day. He is on antidepressants, but depression didn't influence his descision. He had my aunt send out a letter to all the family, that we should not mourn, but celebrate his long and joyful life. This is what I think about. If your body is not going to allow you to live, it is selfish of those who are supossed to love you to keep you here. Let her go, wherever that may be, and be free of the prison of her broken body.
