81. In the case of Terry Schiavo, I think they should have erred on the side of life.
So, no, I don't think that they should have starved her to death. In the end, she had really no brain left, but they couldn't tell that until she was already dead. Her parents, from what I could gather, were willing to pay for her care, instead of starving her to death. It was a little whacky, I admit, that they were willing to have all of her limbs amputated in order to keep her alive, but what difference would limbs make to a person that has no brain function anyway?

I did not alert on your post as a courtesy. However, I did think it was important to point out to you that it contained a personal attack. If I receive another personal attack from you, I assure you, I will alert on that post.

I understand that you are disputing my moral judgement; as I dispute yours, on the same grounds. Not a problem as long as it's not a personal attack, or couched in those terms.

As you might notice: I am not the one, in this thread, who brought up murder. In fact, I explained to you why the term does not apply, in my opinion.
