Do you consider force feeding to be playing God if the person is not
"Brain Dead"? And how sure one must be of brain death if other bodily
functions (breathing, elimination) are still working without interference?

How exactly do you define this?

That's just his way of making insinuations that you'll be punished for daring

The only line he can comprehend is between him and everyone else...and of
course, he gets to tell the rest of us to obey him. Just ask him. ;-)

The group you are lobbying for is doing the very thing that you say you are
against.

I hope, you interfere.
See the difference?

Nobody _wanted_ her to die, you dumbshit control freak. But no matter
how much you don't like it, everybody does die sooner or later, and
her time had come.

you.

The fact is that she had been braindead for some 15 years and no amount of
concern would ever change that fact.
The posturing on this subject by Bush, Jeb, the former sheriff of our county
(that was jailed for trying to give Schiavo water), and the thousands of
other people with empty lives who *felt* compelled to inject themselves into
something that is none of their business, is despicable.

Don't even JOKE about it! (To some of us such a scenario
seems all too possible.)

Quid pro quo; the Governor will soon be investigating the collapse of
the Republican party. The result of being tied to the narrow focus of
the religious right.
