MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I don't see a feeding tube as a "machine" keeping her alive. They could manually put the food into her rather then having a machine do it. So if you have someone who is not physically able to feed themselves then it is OK to let them starve to death now? If you fed her manually, she'd choke on or aspirate food. The tube is basically keeping her alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Hedd Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 This is good because it puts an end to Bill Frist and Republican Senators' macabre and ghastly idea of subpeonaing Ms Schiavo to "testify" before the Senate. Just when you think they can't be more bizarre in their attempt to "preserve life" they top themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunBillsBacker Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/ Change in the story..... 280172[/snapback] "Michael Schiavo says his wife told him she would not want to be kept alive artificially. Her parents dispute that, saying she could get better and that their daughter has laughed, cried, smiled and responded to their voices. " It's been 15 years! It's time to let her go. I understand as a parent, losing your child is the toughest thing that no one ever wants to face, but reality is, she's not gonna spring to her feet anytime in the future. They may not realize it now, but later on they will realize that it's for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teri's case, however, is an entirely different set of circumstances. Babies don't ask to be born. Teri asked her husband not to keep her alive like that. And what happened for 15 damn years was against her rationally stated wishes. I don't know what to think about the cosmos, but just like I say a few words every night for when anyone here asks for prayers, I'll be saying one for Teri. Godspeed.

By removing the feeding tube, she is going to starve to death. I saw that it may take up to ten days for her to die! I think that is inhumane!

I understand by pulling out her tube she could live for as long as another month. As a matter of fact I've also heard that her tube as been pulled out before, only to be ordered re-inserted by people like Jeb Bush and other self-appointed moralists.

R.

R. Rich Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 That would require FNC to actually be in the process of dying. Unlike many left-tilted news networks, it is living quite fine without a feeding-tube. 279760[/snapback] Having a bias as far to the right as the rest of the media does to the left does not make you impartial.
