Yeah, like cheap cotton from the South a few centuries ago . . . American manufacturing is rapidly vanishing. Many American companies now only...
This is more about the arrogant abuse of power by the judiciary. The Florida state legislature passed a law to protect people in Terri's situation...
If all that is needed to sustain them is food and water, then I would say yes. Again, in such cases, we're not talking about someone who's...
It is absurd to minimize her crime by claiming that she "only" stabbed Rosemary LaBianca after she was dead. In a TV interview she once recalled...
You could say the same of any human being who's deprived of needed sustenance. Expedience is a flimsy basis for protecting human rights. OK. End...
Oh yeah, the "temporary" dictatorship of the proletariat that was supposed to just wither away. Instead, after ~70 years of iron-fisted rule and...
Neither a sperm nor an egg by themselves will develop as a human being in any environment. Upon fertilization, neither sperm nor egg exists as...
Removing a feeding tube when death is truly imminent is very different than starving/dehydrating someone who is not dying from any other malady....
It's not just sinister right wing fundies who see the dangers inherent in the mindset that deems the lives of severely disabled people as unworthy...
Here's where I disagree strongly. No one should ever be starved or dehydrated to death at the behest of another, even a spouse or parent. That is...
Haven't nurses and others testified that she can follow a balloon with her eyes? This is beside the main point, though. No one should be...
You might want to explain that these drugs prevent implantation, not just fertilization. Many people (including pro-lifers) don't understand this.
When and how would she die if she were not being dehydrated? Fifteen years and counting is a pretty long "end stage."
Terri is not terminally ill; she is severely disabled! What other types of disabilities would you "treat" by poisoning?
If you deny that an embryo or fetus is alive, then you need to learn some basic biology.
For starters, it's sheer fantasy. There's no "maybe" involved at all. A human embryo will develop, given the proper environment, nutrition, etc. A...
If she had a living will, there would be no legal controversy.
Relying on science fiction is a pretty desperate argument. Again, isolated human cells have no innate potential to develop as human beings, unlike...
Sperm and ova by themselves cannot develop as human beings in any environment. They must be genetically transformed through fertilization, after...
There is no "transformation" from one life form to another, just gradual development of the same organism. This is genetically and biologically...
Separate names with a comma.
