ok I see, my thing though is that there are 3000-5000 (the u.n. said it's genocide-like but not quite genocide, whatever that means)people being butchered in the darfur region of the sudan and I have seen very little about that on t.v., should we be concerned or it doesn't matter coz it's a bunch of crazy arabs killing a lot of africans over there so it's cool? But then again that may not be common knowledge.

then by God we should be losing it over the thousands who are being butchered daily in the Sudan.
on a different note, see we're always complaining about how unfair some things are when we could have a hand in how gvt works by voting. We vote so infrequently, perhaps if we voted more we would have a govt that better represents our ideals

This issue is tough. If you answer yourself honestly, noone would want to be left alive in the condition that Terri is in. Having a feeding tube is the same as being left on life support. God is capable of healing Terri at this very moment with or without a feeding tube. I seriously doubt He's testing us to see if we will murder her. Without this medical technology, she wouldn't lived 15 years as a vegetable. So is it a faithless generation that has killed Terri or the removal of a feeding tube? Why is it that sick people go to doctors and not their pastor's. Shouldn't our Spirit filled pastor's be the ones we go to when we're sick? Don't get me wrong, I don't blame the pastor's, I blame all of us (including me) who believe that God can heal but we're not the vessels he using. The doctors are doing the healing the best they can and we're blaming them when someone doesn't live. Thank God for doctors because we as faith believing christians have dropped the ball.This is not intended to offend but to shed light on the real problem.In Christ,iHilam

I guess since a feeding tube is not life support, then she'll live without it. I guess the more correct statement would be, "If I were her, I would want the tube removed". I would not judge her husband. He drove all over the country trying to help her. Surgery didn't help her. And it's not going to. Surgery is not a miracle from God. God is not using doctors to perform miracles. Pharmakia (drugs) is the very thing that has replaced the Spirit filled minister. Who needs a miracle when drugs will mask the problem? If God wants her to swallow, then she'll swallow. No doctor, lawyer or judge can stop God from doing his will. It is only a faithless generation that hinders the will of God. It appears that they need to put a law in place to avoid this type of situation. I would much rather be with the Lord than to remain on this earth in her condition.
...much of Terris' health fund was used by the lawyers in the legal crusade to terminate her. I doubt the jury who awarded her that 1.2 MM health fund in 1992 realized they were financing Terris' mercy killing. The following expenditures have been paid directly from Terri's Medical Trust fund, with the approval of Judge George Greer: (Summary of expenses paid from Terris 1.2 Million Dollar medical trust fund.By November 1993 Petition Schiavo alleges the 1993 guardianship asset balance as $761,507.50Atty Gwyneth Stanley $10,668.05Atty Deborah Bushnell $65,607.00Atty Steve Nilson $7,404.95Atty Pacarek $1,500.00Atty Richard Pearse (GAL)$4,511.95Atty George Felos $397,249.991st Union/South Trust Bank $55,459.85 Michael Schiavo $10,929.95-------------------------------------------------Total $545,852.34There is less then $50K today.

To reply to the statement "if it God's will for her to swallow, then she'll swallow"The problem is that no one is allowed even to give her a drink of water from what i understand

I am very sorry if I offended anyone. That was not my intention. This is a wonderful website and I thank God for the opportunity to be a part of it. Yes, I pray for Terri and others like her. As one person will see it as murder and another as compassion. One thing is for certain, God will prevail. Please forgive me if my opinions seem different. In Christ,iHilam
