Subject: RE: BS: Mudcatters supporting murder
My question has always been, if her parents are willing to care for her, why won't he just divorce her and let them take care of her?

I don't know if you read my post about the death of my late wife, Kim, but your question disgusts me! I think about the woman I adored being put on to ARTIFICIAL life supports because somebody who knew nothing about her desires on the matter says so. And then being told that if I didn't like this situation I could always divorce her and let others look after her. What right have we to question whether, in their most intimate moments, Terri told her husband the sorts of things Chris told me? What right have we to remove the rights of a husband simply in order to fit in with the religious prejudices and the cruelty of a family? They were married before God. Now her family want to play God and keep her artificially alive.

I know I'm taking this personally. My own wife's passing is too near to me not to. Many Christians (and Terri was a Christian) believe that to deny a person death is as wrong as to deny them life. I know Chris felt that way. So do I. So, apparently did Terri and her husband.

Divorce!! What an insult!
