Permanent Vegatative State
I just lost my digital TV on friday, so I've been forced to watch the basic channels. Better for my wallet I guess, and I'll probally start doing other things besides watching TV. Well one of those channels happens to be CNN and I've been wrapped up watching the terri shiavo contraversy. I can't halp but think about I would want done if I was her. I would not want to live only if a tupe was keeping me alive and I would want them to pull the tube. Why cant people believe that she would make that sort of decision? I wouldn't change my mind if that happend to me. It drives me crazy to think that I could tell people this and might end up living that way anyway. It's been 15 years already that she's been living via feeding tube and obviously in a vegetative state, are they going to wait for her to die for them to dermine whether or not it's a permanent condition? I think that it's more inhumane to keep her alive against her will for selfish parental needs and fears of losing a child. Just give her a shot of morphine for the pain and let her die!
