Here we go again with our black and white visions of morality. Guys, read up on this case. This woman specifically told her family that she did NOT want to be kept alive like this. Mr. Anderson, I'm glad you think you would want to be kept alive as a vegetable, unable to think or speak coherently, and unable to feed yourself. Most people wouldn't. I know I wouldn't. My family knows that if I'm ever in a serious enough accident that I am left a vegetable--to shut off whatever machines are keeping me alive and let me die a NATURAL death. It is not murder; it is mercy. And this woman asked for it herself. The government does not have the right to step in and contradict that.

You guys are so fond of bringing up what is "natural" in the eyes of God. Don't you think that when our bodies shut down and are incapable of functioning without special machines, that our creator is ready to call us to the great beyond? What is so wrong with honoring the wishes of a woman and letting her die a humane death? I think keeping people attached to machines as vegetables is tantamount to torture--especially if it is against the express wishes of that individual.

Once again, your own personal value system should not interfere with the way other people want to live and die.
