O yeah, I'm sure Michael was saying that we can all starve or be dehydrated and not feel it.  I think you just interpreted it that way. He's no doctor and is dealing with a lot now, but I reckon he should have worded it better for you Davo.

I think in a way it is ironic that the religious right wants to keep her alive, it sure sounds like it is god will that she is destined to pass on.
I have told my family that if I am ever in any kind of vegitative state, to let me go, I'd rather be remembered (and remember) living life happily than being on life support.

i think her family is being very selfish. they are keeping her in this hell and have been for 15 years. why, if they loved her, wouldnt they let her go to be with god? does her family believe in god? and if they do, dont they know that she belongs with him?

Seriously, I couldent possibly think of somthing worse then seeing your own child like that everyday. That would be horrible. Just let the poor woman move onto a better place.

Michael was addressing dehydration and starvation in general, so the pope still qualifies for that peaceful and pleasant death. My point is not that the pope should be starved, but that Michael Schiavo was saying something ridiculous in an attempt to sensitize the public to his wife's horrifying circumstance.
I'll have to consult my bookshelves to see if the cerebral cortex is the only source of pleasure and pain. My memory of my biopsychological training hints otherwise, but I'm uncertain.
Damn dude - she has no cerebral cortex left. You could let rabid wallabees trample her to death and she would still die peacefully!
The pain signals may still be present, but there is just nothing there to process them. Remember pain is just a very very very small electrical impulse going to the brain - it's the brains processing that makes it hurt.

Yeah! He's got a wedding to plan! Poor guy!
While I'm officially "on the fence", I can't help but loathe Michael Sciavo.

I hate to say it, but I agree with davo....
I don't think the blog is offensive, I am not part of the what davo calls the "PC left", seems to be a contradiction in terms. I mean the left is supposed to be liberal but they are limiting them selves by what is proper or ploitically correct, that seems conservative to me. Anyway, never the less I just didn't find it funny.

Can we remove your feeding tube also because that was the most brain dead comment I've read in a while.

It was obviously too complicated for you to get the real meaning of.
