I guess I'm pro-choice

[etothepii]

In abortion, let the baby be born, grow into adulthood, where they can then make the choice if they want to be aborted or not.

In the Shaivo case, keep feeding her until she comes to, then give her the choice whether to starve to death or not.

her brain is mush.

her brain is mush.

So you would have no problem then with killing mentally retarded adults?

Well, the only difinative way to determine that is with an MRI. Why is her husband blocking the MRI? It could proove beyond a doubt that he is right.

she's not mentally retarded.

her brain has liquified.

there is a difference.

Her brain has NOT "liquified".

How does this differ from moderate to severe mental retardation? As a matter of fact, she does have a chance (albeit slim) that she could come out of this funk.

so why not blow the brains out of mentally retarded adults?

Watch the videos - she has brain activity on some level and greater than that od a lot of nursing home patients and retarded people

You sure? Doctors say otherwise, you know.

The liquified brain, mostly.

That's the biggest load of crap. You can't tell what's going on in someone's head from a mere video. Look at the frickin' diagnosis.

This will be the third Time I've written this: The ONLY conclusive test for pvs is an MRI. Her husband forbids this test.

the closest thing she had was a CAT scan, right after her "incident." Medical professionals now believe that test to be inconclusive in judging PVS.
