I just don’t know enough to form an opinion. On one hand, if she really did tell Michael that she didn’t want to live on-life support, then those wishes should be honored. Then again, is a feeding tube life support?
To me, it’s about quality of life. If your quality of life was that of a 3 month old baby, and there was little to no hope of that ever improving – of a “normal” life ever again being possible – then I would not want to live.
And that brings me to the most annoying point of this entire case. I have yet to hear anyone suggest that this case is reason #1 why YOU, if you do not have one, need a living will.
(Mrs. Clancy and I will be working this out this weekend.)
Teri is NOT in a vegitative state. Since when does her husband have a right to KILL her. If her who next, Alzheimers, parkinsons, MS etc. You get the idea. To starve her is extreemely way to die and will take 2 weeks. I don't want to live on life support but please don't starve me to death. Clancy's Pop
