I'm not really arguing the fact with you hun. I agree Michael Shiavo was wrong in not letting the family be there in her last few moments. But I have to make a side note about the comment about playing God, something a coworker of mine said to me when I said something as similiar as you did. What have we been doing for the last 15 years? When they put that feeding tube into her, they played God. The laws of Nature say the weakest will not survive. If you cannot fend for yourself, find food for yourself, supply for yourself, you will die. It's the way life goes, the cycle of life you could say I guess. Like I said earlier, I'm not really arguing with you, but its just something to think about
yes but why give her a feeding tube then take it away.. they should have just let her die to begin with if thats all they intended to do to begin with anyways.. instead of drawing it out more and more.. i feel for her... and i mourn for her loss.... i cannot even begin to imagine.. what it must have been like...
~Hugs~ come around more often stranger.. you spark intelectual brain cells in my head that I had thought were dead.. I shall think on this thoroughly (what you have said) indeed as usual.. good points
Oh, yes, Michael Schiavo despised his wife. I'm sure that's why he spent seven years trying to figure out how to bring her back, even trying to take up nursing. Or why he stayed with her throughout the entire ordeal instead of divorcing her. But respecting her wishes to not be resuscitated makes him the villain... sure, why not?
As for hugging her mom and allegedly responding, a vegetative state does not mean paralysis. She still operates, and responds to stimuli. But she has no cognitive functions, given that over a third of her brain is missing.
as far as ignorant fucks go i wasn't directing that towards anyone here.. and if he loved her so much.. then why just set back and watch her tube be taken.. im not saying he didn't love his wife im just saying.. it makes me wonder..... things i shouldn't wonder.. like should i for instance ever marry and something like that should happen to me.. i really honestly would rather my husband divorce me and go on and be happy with his life.. but i wouldn't want them to remove the feeding tube... that is just how i feel and is just my oppinion.. i am angry that she is dead.. and am in mourning..

And I have to wonder who you're calling "ignorant fucks" here. The massive number of doctors who say that her end wasn't painful?
