I say let her try it, that way when she chokes her to death because Terri can neither chew nor swallow we can convict her of murder. So much for Pro-Life, eh bitch?Quote:

And yes, before someone mentions, I do know that actively killing her can be called "murder" by the people who nitpick these things. I just don't care. Dead is dead, and a quick peaceful end beats dying of thirst any day of the week.
Does she even have enough brain left to feel pain?

There's no way to tell, because she can't actually tell us if she's in pain.Quote:

The most awesome thing about this is seeing all the hard-line conservatives get stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either they let Schiavo die and God will smite them with thunderbolts and shit, or they "save" her via dirty commie-esque government interference.
FULLY PWNED.
I think this is what makes it so tough. It's not like she stops breathing and it's over in a few minutes. It could take 2 weeks for her to die, and she'll be turning into a skeleton right there on the bed. That's horrible. But she's so far gone...Quote:

But would she even know? Fuck, I don't know. Just get this shit out of the public eye.
A trustworthy doctor on ABC has said that her brain is in such a state that this death would be completely peaceful. Considering that everyone who says that she's suffering and whatnot has absolutely no clue how the human body/mind works, I'm going to take that to heart.
It's really people that are alive that are making her life worse.
Wait, if her parents (grandparents?) are willing to pay for it, why the hell does anyone care? Seriously we're not the ones offering to pay, her parents are, it doesn't matter. And having her starve to death is far more cruel than anything else. This is a pointless debate.
Her parents aren't the one's spoting the bill, American tax payers are.Quote:
