Morty wishes he could have done the same for his First Wife.

The judge decided the tube is not going back in.

However her parents are filing an appeal.

I really hope they loose!!!!!

I hope there is an ounce of brain function in her head and she some how gets control of her arm and strangles herself infront of her parents just to show them what fucking assholes they are for keeping her alive.

Her taking her own life would be the ultimate slap in the parents face.

But we all know that won't happen. Hopefully the ceiling falls or something if they get that tube back in her.

if the parents win wouldn't it be cool if she like turned into the exorcist?

**Morty** · 03-22-2005, 08:52 PM

I might be mistaken, but isn't the "Father Lawrence" or whatever the church dude's name was, technically "The Exorcist".

An exorcist being one who "exorcises"?

This is one of the toughest decisions to have to make. One of the indications of its heaviness is the amount of joking it provokes. I would not like to be the parents watching a daughter--feeling helpless and hopeless about her situation. I would not like to be in the situation her husband is in, having married again and wishing to remove the remnants of his first wife. I would not like to be the medical people who began all this by keeping her alive, artificially. Medical professionals frequently acts as though they are God--not so much in killing but in keeping patients alive when nature has dictated death. The problem is now insoluble. If she is permitted to die now, it is through an act of man. If she is kept alive, it is through an act of man.

The case of Tracy Latimer, in Saskatchewan is entirely different. The child was responsive and loving with a quality of life and the father murdered her. But again--the suffering was his. He interpreted her suffering as being alive. Note that the court did not let him go free but gave him a minimum sentence. If he had gone free, all the disabled kids and older, incapable persons would now be dispatched. Does this remind anyone of something the Nazis did to the mentally ill and disables during and before the Second World War? Tough isn't it? And so it must be for us to remain human.

I don't know, seems like it would mean more available parking spots at the grocery store to me.

I Agree That Killing Elderly And Mildly Deranged Such As Happened In Places Like The Gronheim And Schlieffeggen Asylums From The Mid-30's To The End Of WWII Would Be Outrageous, But This Is Different, She Is Being Kept Alive By Machines And She Is Not Going To Recover, Somebody Who Is Elderly Or Mildly Deranged Can Survive Without Machines, This Is Different, This Would Be Letting Nature Take Its Course

Either way it sucks. Irregardless of all the reasons, I just can't comprehend how the parents think its best to keep her on the machines.
