[My girlfriend is a surgeon. She had a 400 pound man throw a PE (pulmonary embolism) into his lungs and die. She was still upset about this guy dying for days afterwards. Conditions were lining up inside this guy to kill him. But it still bothers her.]
Thank God that we still have physicians out there such as your girlfriend.
If the people who murdered Schiavo had their way, then they would find a way to eliminate your girlfriend. You underestimate the determination of the lovers of death.

Yep. Physicians exist to kill people. They enjoy making people die. That's why they go to medical school and spend their time preventing people from dying.
Also, unlike you, they can recognize when someone is just staying alive because we are handing all their bodily functions for them.
"Thank God that we still have physicians out there such as your girlfriend."
Well, that's nice...
"If the people who murdered Schiavo had their way,"
This isn't. She wasn't 'murdered', asshole, she died.
"then they would find a way to eliminate your girlfriend. You underestimate the determination of the lovers of death."
What the fuck are you talking about?
Schiavo was not conscious. She was never going to regain consciousness. Her brain was non-functional and, in fact, was no longer even intact. She was dead to the world long before they pulled the plug, and that wasn't going to change. Get over it.
As for the crack at doctors, damn near every doctor gets that way when they lose a patient. That's true even if the patient could be kept "alive" via feeding tubes and the like - the doctors know damn well that the patient ain't coming back when the brain is as far gone as Schiavo's was. Eventually you do recover from it, though ... or you wouldn't be able to do it anymore. My bet is that the doctors involved in the Schiavo case had long since gotten over losing her, because they knew it wasn't going to get better and had known for years.
That you could make a such a slur on people who have done more for humanity than you ever will disgusts me.
I think that dead horse is sufficiently beaten by now. Give it up.
The horse has been beaten into glue so now they're stuck to it.
Meh. DfT is just trying to defend the rights of people with only slightly more cognitive capacity than himself.
He just has it in a few regions that allow him to do certain things Terri couldn't. Like, for example, be conscious, type on a keyboard, and use the internet.
I'm still not convinced that he is smart enough to be able to actually converse without the internet.
I certainly don't underestimate the malicious stupidity of the lovers of fundamentalism. They'll say anything, no matter how vicious or wrong, to smear their opponents. They have no shame, no conscience, and no compassion.
Wait, wait, David, so which high-ranking Nazi official would be proud of the "lovers of death?" Seriously, I wanna hear it.
A Doctor bothered by a patient dying is a good thing.
Using the term murder for terry shiavo is wrong and possibly actionable as slander. Termination of life support is legal and it was done properly with a courts approval.
Doctors who prefer dead patients than cured and healthy patients go out of business.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
