Believe it or not, as IA's official bible thumper, I agree with you (to an extent). Can't hang wit ya on the "brainwashing" thing bud.....Originally Posted by admin
The gov't has zero to do with this. The parents have made it into that because of all their legal ranglings. I don't think the gov't has a single say so in this.
A lot of people that don't want her to be disconnected are using legal precedents like the death row prisoners as reasoning. What a lot of people are failing to acknowledge is that she has been clinically determined to be brain dead. Therefore, the comparison of having the same rights as someone who is a murderer pleading for his life is not even remotely in the same vicinity IMO. A murderer will use every legal recourse to prolong the inevitable. If they do it long enough, they will simply die like you or I in their sleep one day never having to face the executioner. But a person that is in a vegetative state doesn't KNOW much of anything. So, technically, when someone is brain dead (much like my buddy Paul said earlier) that person is no better off than a corpse.
My personal opinion is that she should be allowed to finally pass away. I've already told my entire family that if ever I was in that situation, pull the plug. I think it's far more cruel to let someone remain in that state.
