If you had a blank VHS cassette that was broken you couldn't record on and it won't play the movies you saved on it. Do you save it knowing you'll never see the images again?
Again starvation is cruel and unusual.

Angel ( my niece ) is 15 years old - her mental & intellectual age is between 6 & 8 months. She will never progress past this point. She is comparable to that "blank slate" except nothing can ever be writen there; her situation will not change; she will not get better. They have taken her to uncountable "specialists" in several states and three countries.
So - do we discard her as broken ?

Wolfson served as Schiavo's guardian for two months in 2003 under ``Terri's Law.'' He tried to broker an agreement between the two sides, but was unsuccessful. Wolfson said it is not too late to revisit the original question in the long-running legal saga - is the 41-year-old woman disabled, or brain dead?

Appearently the question has yet to be addressed.
It is a slippery slope when we allow "Quality of Life" to determine a person's right to live.
