    Christians Should Be Ashamed

    "'Michael Schiavo tried to kill his wife. Terri's nurse said so.' If you want to believe this you must also believe that practically person involved in Mrs. Schiavo's care conspired to cover up attempted murder. " The fact is, we have already shown conspiracy, specifically regarding medicaid...

    Human Supremacy

    I don't think anyone has yet brought up the point that we are entirely dependent upon the earth. One small shift in axis or gravitational pull and we are all ash or icicles. Not to mention, the gaseous layers over our heads that keeps deadly radiation out, the same layers we keep on Lysoling...

    Human Supremacy

    Hypothetical question: If there were more intelligent life, would they really want to contact a lowly species that can't even conquer poverty, greed, hatred, or intolerance? Our lives have many more luxuries now, but have we solved a single one of the temptations faced by man thousands or...

    Help Stop A Murder

    She does make concious responses to stimuli, documented by court appointed experts as well as the parents. The problem is that her brain was incurably damaged years ago, and she is more often incapacitated than responsive. She is now physically healthy, the arguement is over her mental...

    People deserve better than dogs. Some patients live for ten, fifteen, twenty years on a feeding tube. Even some young children require feeding tubes to grow to adulthood. I see nothing about modern medicine that should cause this disdain. Dogs indeed, hmmph. No one is arguing that Terri...

    Help Stop A Murder

    I'm not saying that simple response to stimuli does make a person. However, you must ask then, what does it mean to be a person? She was born a human being, she lives, eats, breaths, sleeps, and even to use the old arguement against slavery "Does she not bleed the same as you?" Would you say...

    Contraception and Christianity

    The verse is in command form: Gen 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. " Again...

    Let's start at your second post. Hmm, your reason you give for saying Terri should die: Now we've already agreed the last part of your statement, about achieving a "normal" life is all bunk and twaddle, because you don't believe anything is normal, so let's look at what we're left with. A...

    Help Stop A Murder

    I was not referring to any life insurance policy, but rather to the settlement with the hospital which was ruled liable in causing Terri's condition. Any life insurance policy would be a seperate amount in addition to this sum of money. He can't. He's paying for his lawyers now with the...

    Help Stop A Murder

    And here, too, is my problem with your comments. The blind person is no less happy nor less of a person, when they are too young to read braille. Indeed, the thousands and millions of blind people who lived before Braille was recently invented, were not affected by modern conveniences, yet...

    Help Stop A Murder

    Who can judge if a person is happy, but that individual themself? Not a surrogate, certainly. No. I was happy before I got medications. Medicine may allow me a longer life, but my medication doesn't give happiness. I think you're confusing it with Prozac. So, normal doesn't really mean...

    Help Stop A Murder

    She never became his possession in the eyes of the Catholic Church. That's why Pope John Paul II tried to intervene on her behalf. They teach that a woman, married or unmarried, is her own unique person with her own right to life. The Catholic Church doesn't support euthanasia...

    Help Stop A Murder

    Do you know what she told her mother and father? Her Priest? Her friends? Do you really think you can trust a man who inherits millions of dollars, enough to pay off his debts, if she dies? Can you honestly say you've never met anyone that would kill for a million dollars?

    Help Stop A Murder

    That's the same thing I quoted from you before. If I must say it again, a disability does not need to be overcome, nor does it bar a person from leading a happy life, whether you consider it healthy or normal. As someone with a disability from disease, I do take offense at your comments. I...

    Help Stop A Murder

    I've gotten info from a plethora of other sources. For example,"the video of Terry Schiavo appearing to smile and look lovingly at her mother seemed to represent cognition. This was also true for how she followed the Mickey Mouse balloon held by her father." - from the Florida Second District...

    Ok, so you're saying that someone who will never overcome their disability, such as a paralytic or a blind person, is not disabled???!! People with Down syndrome, and other incurable disabilities, live quite happy lives with their disability. Just because other people can't do all the...

    Help Stop A Murder

    She's been responsive for all these years, while her husband went off, found a girlfriend, and had two kids with her. I would hardly call that "ethical commitment" to his wife. As for her wishes, she was a devout Catholic who didn't believe in suicide. She is NOT being kept alive on ventilator...

    Help Stop A Murder

    The husband was named by the courts as Terri's legal guardian. Deciding to terminate her life would be "assisted suicide" or "euthanasia", which has not been ruled "cruel and unusual" and remains legal.
