I wonder if any of those girls' dads ever got one of those videos and died
of a heart attack in front of the TV. Explain that to the coroner.
My husband works for a bank and he gets women calling in all the time
asking what the 29.95 charge to "GGW" is, and that they didn't authorise
any purchases to that company. *giggle*

Very good point. I completely agree Gah its os dumb though.. PERSONAL is
the key word. All you people just need to leave it between her and her
family. It's great that you have an opinion and that you care about a
persons life but none of you know hwat really was going on... only what
media told you. If oyu knew her or the husband or her parents that might be
different.

Problem is, the "personal" factor became moot the moment someone involved
went to the press. Public support for "let her live/let her die" was asked
for the moment someone involved agreed to speak to a reporter.

Are we still talking about this? She's dead! Get over it!

The moral issues involved in this case are increasingly important the
further medical science comes.
I think it was Starlight who said 'Let nature take its course' in favour
of keeping the feeding tube in. Now , I may just be a bluff old
traditionalist, but to me nature taking its course IS someone who can no
longer feed themselves starving to death. The point of this debate, my
opinion, is that nature no longer has to take its course. It can be
prevented.
With relation to this specific case EyeCandyRayce said it best with her
both-sides-of-the-argument post. As soon as someone involved went to the
press it became a propaganda case with pro-lifers and people who have read
the parents' propaganda on one side, and the 'let the dead die' folk and
the people who first saw the husband's argument on the other. It is no
longer an impartial case study, it is all about the personal beleifs of the
people reading or hearing about it. There is no real way to use this
particular issue as an exemplar for the arguments about whether someone who
is brain dead should die or not.
I've lost track where I was going with that because I went away for a
couple of hours, so, in conclusion. Bettie, what is a CANCUN?

Other than a place, it's sort of a joke I have with co workers. It started
with "girls gone wild", a hillarious video showing "real college girls"
showing their boobies to video cameras in locations such as Cancun, Tijuana
(spelled) and wherever there is lots of alcohol and fake I.D.'s. As in
drunk girls on spring break yanking up their tops and yelling "WOOO
CANCUN!!".

I love the way that Real People do so much more fun stuff than real people.
I dont think I have ever met a Real Person before
I think I may have had the pronunciation wrong in my head. If it is
pronounced Cancoon rather than Can Cunn then it rings a bell and I would
have had to remember the original point of my previous post.

I'm pretty sure it's Cancun. I should look that up. Plus, it's not JUST
Real People, it's Real College Girl People. That kicks it up a notch. I'm
always afraid I'm gonna see my sister in one of those commercials some
day.
I also like how happy Real People with genital herpes look on the tv ads
for medications. Makes me want to run out and contract it so I can cayak,
ski, ride bikes in the mountains, have romantic vacations in the
countryside, and vacation in a bikinni in the tropics.

I want to kayak, ski, ride bikes in the mountains, have romantic vacations
in the countryside and vacation in a bikini in the tropics so that people
will want to sleep with me so I get a chance to contract herpes. Funny the
way the world works isnt it.
Ok, so probably seeing a 20 year old man in a bikini would put some people
off sleeping with me, but as I said, its funny the way the world works.
Anyway, I don't have the breasts for a bikini. (note to self, eat fast
food, grow breasts)

You know, some people pay good money to see a 20 year old man in a bikini,
you should think about that if you're ever strapped for cash. As for
filling out a bikini, nowadays everyone seems to be built like a 12 year
old boy, so the competition isn't half as stiff as you might be thinking.
You don't need fast food to get the cushion for the pushin, just go on the
patented bettie x beer diet. Fat is where it's AT. Just ask MRD, she's
seen me, I got crazy ghetto booty.

The nice and more thoughtless way of stating my point... but it still
stands.
