I have spent an eternity saying this.

Terri Schiavo is not on life support. She does not use a ventilator. I don't know where that story started, but here it ends. She is not hooked up to any machines. She uses a feeding tube. That is not life support. Taking her off the feeding tube will cause her to - slowly - starve or dehydrate.

There is evidence that she reacts to things around her. There is also evidence that her condition would be drastically improved if the money from the settlement had gone towards her treatment instead of her husband's court bills.

So please, base your opinions off of accurate information.

And now, I will let other people talk about being in situations where they were believed dead, and post those links (links I've posted before) about other people who nearly died because "after all, she's not going to recover, might as well pull the plug now" - and at the time, they were conscious.

I believe you misunderstood. Insulin is considered medication, but it is also something everybody needs to survive. Try living a day without it. See how long it takes you to pass out. I'm only trying to make you realize the fact, so you will be less ignorant of what insulin really is.


Oh, and by the way, you have a really nice style of butchering the english language. You obviously have the intelligence of the child in your icon.
