oh no, what if TS was "gasp" GAY? nt

What if she were Hillary?

Because, you know, she's a sinner and needs to meet her final judgement or some other bullshit.

Actually, if she were gay, she'd be in the same state she's in now, only with the feeding tube still in place, covered in bedsores, rotting in a hospital somewhere under her parent's care (who stated, in court, that even if her wishes were in writing, they would not follow them). Then, her parents would die, she would become a ward of the state, and linger on in pittiful agony for another god knows how long until her body just shut down naturally after years and years of artifical nutrition, infection, pneumonia, and a plethora of other diseases that affect people in terminal states.

This is why I'm glad I'm married, and this is why I'm so PRO-GAY-MARRIAGE.

Everyone has the right to live and die in the way they choose. It's sad that this case just proves how LITTLE the bond of marriage is. For those who preach on and on about the 'sanctity of marriage', they certainly show no concern for it in this case.

I posted a thread yesterday asking how people would feel if Terri were pregnant and wanted an Abortion---only her parents objected. Would they have the right, in that case, to petition the courts over and over again to FORCE her to carry the child to term? Would DU'ers be suggesting over and over again that Terri just have the baby and give custody to her parents (as they're suggesting that Michael just 'give custody" of Terri to her parents so they can do what they wish?)

This case has SUCH far-reaching implications regarding spousal rights, medical privacy, and the right to make medical decisions on your own behalf. I hope that the DU'ers who are fighting for the rights of the Parents in this case cherish THEIR medical privacy and THEIR spousal right and THEIR right to make decisions about life and death, because I fear that after this case, ALL of those rights will go right down the toilet.

I, for one, don't want to have to get permission from every single fucking person in my family before I make a medical decision on my own behalf---and that's what this issue is surely leading to. Want an abortion? Must consult mommy and daddy, even if you're an adult and married...or an adult and single....
