13 days without food OR WATER! Amazing persistence of life! I don't know if I could go 13 days without water.

What is life?

Is life a quantity, and mechanically beating heart, and lungs that breathe?

Is life a quality?

Is life both?

In what sense did TS just die, or did she die years ago?

Amazing persistence of life? Only if you are sufficiently ill-informed to be amazed by such things.

Lying calmly in an airconditioned hospital room, I expect you could do it - especially if you were heavily sedated.

Terri was not heavily sedated by drugs, but she was effectively so by her injuries.

May she rest in peace.

This is a very sad day for millions.

I went without food or water for three days once. That was about all I could stand. It was the lack of water that most affected me.

Give it a rest, Ron.

Terri Schiavo was not just murdered, she was tortured to death. Amazing how so many professed Christians here approve of that.

I wish it were true for me. I'm no longer amazed. So much bitterness, anger, and invective justified in the name of--well, it isn't God. I can't understand why anyone would want to become a part of a church where people treat each other as so many do here.

Sadly, I find it's the common state of the majority of our congregations in NA.

Doesn't matter, Terri's parents were willing to care for her for the rest of her natural life. As Bush says, we should err on the side of life!

What was natural about her "life" for the past 15 years?

I tend to stay away from here for awhile because of the very strong attitudes that prevail.

For some reason we have to annihilate each other to win the arguments.
