Terry Shivao (No clue about the last name, sorry sorry.gif )
Anyways, she was the woman who was said to be brain dead, and was but on...
uh...
life Support? I can't remember, my thoughts are getting disorganized...
anyways, she had to be on a machine to live, and obviously when the husband tried to get her unhooked, the courts, congressm Teryy's parents, and Mr. Bush went nuts, along with america.
What do you think?
My thoughts:
Whether you were for or against having the feeding tube, I think everyone agrees:
Congress shoulda kept out of it.
President Bush shoulda kept outa it.
The media overinflated it.

Anyways, back to teh core issue, I think it was the correct thing to do, If I had no brain function, I wouldn't want to live.
There's a difference between Living, and existing
My mind is my favorite part of my body, it drives me, and without being this msart, yet knowing how smart I was, would be torture. If I couldn't think enough to live, I wouldn't want to live.

Your thoughts?

Okay, a little off topic, but YEAH FIRST BAR FILLED WITH 100% PARTICIPATION!! w00t.gif

It was her husband who pulled off the feeding tube. So it would be sad for him to see her die of starvation but it was probably better than just seeing her like that. Her parents tried to get the tube back but lost.

Terry died of natural causes they said. But I guess it is better that way than for someone to pull the feeding tube out of her.

I think the right thing was done, but it would've been smarter (less media attention) if the wife wrote that she didnt wanna be like that down...
