Heh, good call. Didn't even think of that. So now the choice is between slowly starving to death or 'living' on. Poor woman.
I take it euthanasia is illegal if they're letting her die like that rather than giving her an overdose?

yea, euthanasia is 'murder' or whatever. Stupid Christian morality. Much better to just starve her to a 'natural' death. But yea, I suppose 'unplugging' her is about the only way they can legally assist her expiration. Any active participation would be murder.

lol, that's extreme suckage. Not that it's so much better around here; it's legal but it's still a very vague area as to what 'murder' is and what not. So you don't want to be the one giving the lethal shot, basically.
Working in a old folk's home has earned me a lot of 'kill me' requests, heh. i'm not talking plants even, just old ppl who suffer from this or that disease/condition. Not really the most uplifting place to be.
Anyway, I hope for the woman that she dies quickly. I don't see why so many ppl have moral problems with it either...if you're Christian you believe in a life after death, so you'd think that it's a party rather than a drama. But by that logic all Christians would have to commit mass suicide, lol. Bring on the Kool-aid!

Yeah i don't get it either, must be some (for me) irrational thing like no condoms or something. That 'thing' that's in a bed for what 15 years or so isn't human anymore. It's machines that keep her alive. Just let her die peacefully (so rather give her an injection than let her starve).
It's hard to let someone you love go, but i think her parents are selfish.
And don't get me started on politicians who think they need to interfere with that guy's private life. As if they care for that woman.
Aargh and the protesters. Don't they have something more important (or valuable) to do?

I'd say that im 85% sure that in these cases, the victims (strange application of the word) should be better off dead.
I would NOT want my parents and friends to worry about me if i become a vegetable. Even if they want me to live, it is my intention that if i ever end up like that and have no hope in getting normal that my life should be ended prematurely. This would be for the good of the family and myself.

Thanks for that Pig.
Should have a poll on this to make it more interesting.
