Art, my reference was only to the baggage that Sol has introduced into the thread. He seems to be suggesting that Jews have cornered the market on horrible deaths. It's too easy to cite genocide after genocide in recorded human history to let him take that moral high ground. This includes many 20th century "genocides", but no mention of the millions of New World Indians who died from the 16th century forward. As horrible as the Nazi plan was, there have been much worse and over longer periods of time.

Sol said "She is not suffering at all and feels no pain whatsoever." You know this, do you Sol? So you've spoken to her? She told you she's not suffering and wants to lie in bed fighting bedsores and pernicious infections while she has a tube running into her stomach to pump in calories a few times a day?

You haven't been reading the articles very closely. You've decided that her husband is an axe murderer with a hatchet in one hand and his dick in the other. You need to let the dead die. Just because they can keep her body alive with nutrition doesn't mean she is truly alive. Whereas her husband is alive, and is trying to move on with his life. Where is your compassion for the living?

I can't imagine a worse torture that to be in Terri Schiavo's position. And if she's somehow aware under the burden of the brain damage and the non-responsive body, what a horrible fate to have to endure it for 15 years. 15 years. Putting myself in her place, I would have wanted long ago to slip off into sleep and leave it behind.
