This is one of the most disgusting and repulsive episodes I have ever heard of:

I do genuinely feel very sorry for all the decent people of the once-proud America who find themselves living in a fundamentalist theocracy where new laws can be created out of thin air to appease the ultra-right wing Christian fundamentalist lobby.
Absolutely disgusting :no:

To be trapped in a vegetative state such as what this women is in offers no hope of improvement nor release, it is better to let her go then prolong the suffering.
Just because the husband has gone off with another woman and its "inconvenient" to keep her alive, he wants her dead! Disgusting & immoral.
Our society has cheapened life to a point where some are trying to make abortion, "mercy"(?) killing, assited suicide, withdrawing treatement for the elderly, acceptable - well for some of us it never will be!
For the fact they are basing a lot of what they do on religion.
And George W. Bush is not God either.
This woman is seriously brain damaged and has been incapitated for 15 years. Would you want to live like that brain damaged to the degree that you cant operate and lead a life. I wouldnt and i would hope someone would put me out of my misery if it happened to me
Is what she experiecning life or is it existance?
Neither are you believe it or not.
Funny because George Bush Jr has killed so many people both in war and people who are prisoners and tortured and sexually abused people in Guantanamo without a fair trial. Yet he won't give a woman the right to die? That's disgusting... Human rights my arse.

Don't believe all the left-wing anti-American propaganda you read, take a more objective view. Her parents want her to continue living!!!!! The fact that her husband has shacked up with another woman just makes it an "inconvienience" as far as he's concerned.
So, he hasn't signed 152 death warrants as governor of Texas, hasn't started a war with Iraq that has seen the deaths of thousands and thousands - (Iraqi, USA and others) and wasn't responsible for Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo Bay.
Thats all left-wing anti-American propaganda is it?
Even Aladdin has his avatar dedicated to him ffs.
Still, I suppose being anti-bush is the main fashion accessory of any left winger these days.
Look, please don't speak down to me again, it gets tiresome.
So you are claiming that America have never used the death penalty in the past year? You cannot take more of an objective view than pure statistics. As for Guantanamo... Are you aware of the Human Rights Act? Or any piece of writing other than the Bible?
Supporting Human Rights may be a 'fashion accessory', but at least those human rights protesters are working for a better society for me and you. Why is it a fashion accessory anyway? Explain?
I do beg your pardon for having an issue with the single most disturbing, dangerous and twisted piece of shite in modern history.
I get the feeling if this were 1938 we could have been having the same conversation over a certain other ruler.
You're being silly Aladdin. Hitler was a bad man ........
However, if Tommo was German in 1938 .......
:yuck:
You don't think comparing Bush to Hitler is slight hyperbole?
The principle of defending clearly evil malicious murdering bastards still apply. Though I acknowledge Hitler's crimes were much much worse than Bush's of course.
Well, yes, of course there is some exaggeration for effect there. :yes:
Since Hitler, which country has killed the most foreign civilians would you say?
Sorry, what was your answer to the question?
The Soviets/Russians have also managed a lot in Afghanistan (far more than the US caused), plus Hungary (casualties unknown), Chechyna, etc.
But is killing foreign civilians worse than murdering than your own people? In that case the US is far behind the old-USSR, East Germany, Cambodia, North Korea, Vietnam, et, etc
What about the 800,000 people killed in Rwanda between April-June 1994?
He can be quite the religious type I hear, but least unlike Bush he doesn't claim God talks to him and dictates his foreign policy.
And your answer is what exactly?
Obviously you live in the fantasy-enveloped world as the Commander in Thief and his neocon cohorts themselves.
Funny - I'd say I am QUITE PROUD to be an American. I wouldn't knock the US if I were you - you still have Tony Blair.
The parents should have the right to decide if this woman should live or die, not the husband who has decided to move on 12 years ago. I don't know how much media coverage this gets outside of the US but I do know that these parents have hope that their daughter will one day recover and there have been many doctors that will agree with them - the possibility is there. And who should decide what quality of life is - just because her life is not what you or I would want, how do we REALLY know that SHE would want to die (there is no documentation of what she wants).
Sticky situation - I don't believe it belongs in Congress - I do believe it should be up to the parents - who are the ones who still care for her (not the husband).
