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.
No you just are trying to make a point that can't be made with your example. Pope is alive, Terry was brain dead and now is dead.

Terri was dead all this time? That's news to me. I wonder what all this debate was about then.

Wow...you guys like to keep redefining life whenever it's convenient. For people who are afraid of religion, you sure like to play God.

Not sure if you're counting me in that statement but I'm not afraid of religion. I do believe in God. It's not redefining life, but being brain dead for 15 years is pretty much dead. Keeping a body alive isn't really living now is it? So (assuming a body would keep working without a brain at all) if I remove somebody's brain but keep their body alive with machines or whatever, is that life to you Davo? Think about it.

in case you missed it from the other Thread! this is my thoughts about her death/situation
Good! Seriously its about time!
I don't have to give a reason to back up my statement but it you can't move talk or eat on your own. then you shouldn't exist in my world. Period!!!!!!! This is something that should have happened about 15 years ago

You have your facts wrong. She was not brain dead. The only artificial assistance she had was a feeding tube, because the portion of her brain that would allow her to eat was mush. Her brain still functioned sufficiently to keep her heart beating and her lungs respirating, among other things. She was not on life support, which would make this debate slightly different.

Are you aware of how many people there are that can't feed themselves? I wonder if you have any kids, and considered them dead before they could feed themselves.
