just to let all you urban legend fools know, your brain is not alive for 13-18 minutes after you die.

^haha she didnt need JUST food, cuz if that was the case why have her hooked up to all that shit.

its not about ethics its about MONEY

we (americans) were paying for her to live... if she wanted to live her family could have paid.

thats the issue my man, 1/2 the people dont wanna pay for a brain dead person to sit in a hospital bed and do absolutly NOTHING.

sure if she could move or even eat by herself then id help but enough is enough... there is only so much money she can take from our pockets before people get pissed.

i not stealing money from you guys because i have an anxiety disorder... I PAY FOR MY SHIT

SHE DID NOT

any questions?

d-loc give me a break, we waste billions of dollars on Iraq and I dont see everyone put their panties up in a bunch over that like they did over Terry. If money was the problem then this would of been solved long time ago by rich "Right Wing" folks that would donate millions to her. So money wasnt even a issue.

^HA open ur mind, moneys everything in todays society...

i really dont have an opinion on the whole issue man im just stating what i knew about it.

i mean another big issue was space... hospitals are always overcrouded. and she had been in that room how long? she needed constant assistance how long. doctors for how long?

when all those resources could be used to treat people that are temparary in pain or injured... not in a stuper where nothing can be done.

she was kept alive for a long time for a reason, to see how her condition would come along and nothing was changing and even her husband said to take the support off.

would you like a life as she had it?

kill me now is what i would be saying every waking moment that i sat in that bed helpless.

its not cruel it was time

dude the 21 grams couldnt be air in your lungs, the air doesnt affect your weight when you are surrounded by air. it affects your bouyancy in water, but it cant have anything to do with air. it also cant be the bodily fluids you lose, because they most likely weigh you on a bed (your death bed), so all that stuff is weighed too, even though tis out of your body. freaky shit. no puns on that.

the brain is pretty much useless after about 8 minutes of going without oxygen, and the damage is un-repairable.

Yes I'm going to agree with D-Loc, the whole "system" this day revolves soley around money. That's all people want because, when you think about it, thats all people know is money Money is a constant factor that control everything. Money is strictly a control factor of Babylon to filter out all the people from the people... the rich from the poor, high to low class. Sure money can be good, but it's when people get greedy the money is no good, which is how people are now. that makes money about worthless if you ask me.

and about Terry, taking her off life support was the best thing possible. Someone like that can't honestly be kept alive with the condition worsening everyday. Her family just didn't want to let her go, but her husband knew what was right.

The thread topic was stupid... of course death is death. Unless you're Teddy Knape. Then you're immortal. But you're not Teddy Knape, no one is!

... except, perhaps, Teddy.

I recall reading about an experiment where a professor in the 1800's got beheaded and blinked as many times as he could afterwards and blinked something like 30 times afterwards.

i think we should just kill people like that instead of letting them starve, thats like the worst way to go. and how is it not murder to pull the feeding tube, its the same damn thing, they just suffer for a week or two, then die.

Yeah dude she had no idea what was going on. She couldn't feel anything and no they did not murder her. First off you cannot murder someone who is already dead, and two, it's not murdering someone if they cannot support their own life and do not want help in that.

her brain was dead, her BODY was being kept alive afterwards, a complete waste. just a shell of a former living being being kept alive is just depressing as hell

if you have read the newsweek article on it, it sheds light on the pro life parents: they wouldn't have removed her tube even she had asked them to, and if she had developped gangrene, they would have cut the necessary limbs off to save her... all this to keep a lifeless body intact for what reason? nope, not to donate organs, but to have the family continue to live in denial... it was so absurd.
