[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 79393, member: 122"] The more I find out about the case the more I side with the parents. She is not on life support she is simply disabled. People use the argument that she is only alive because of the "medical meddling" as Dun put it. But if you use that logic, it blurs the line between what is proper medical intervention and what isn't. Should a person be allowed to have a heart transplant? Just because a person can't verbally communicate or physically take care of themselves, are their lives then less meaningful? Another thing with this case is they won't even let the family give her ice chips or anything to help her parched throat. The won't let them open the shades on the window to experience the warm sun on her face one last time, they won't let the family take her outside to breath fresh air one more time. What is being done to her is nothing less than cruel. Didn't Hitler start by killing the disabled? I'm not comparing the husband or anyone to Hitler, but he obviously didn't value life either. I have never been in a situation like this and pray that I never will be. Also, not one of us knows what it is like to be in what they call a vegatative state as it is called, and we don't know if she wants to die or not. If I'm in her shoes someday, I want the wishes of those that love me to be done like Duns family decided, not someone that wishes I wasn't around anymore (ie. her husband). [/QUOTE]
