Ok I have to try to figure this out...first off, the constitution states, seperation of church and State. Everyone says religion has no place in the government. Teri's parents state that her religion plays a role in allowing her to "live" with the feeding tubes. Even though this is all a fact could someone please explain to me how in the world did the President, governer, etc...get involved. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!!! This is a double standard and is unnacceptable. If the government is going to be involved in this, then I say combine God and State, all the time not when it is just convient for power or votes. I have read many of the posts in this thread and other threads regarding this situation and its so funny to me that the posters that mention God and Teri's wishes due to her religion, are the same posters that do not want God involved in anything. It can't be that way, its wrong. It also amazes me the ones that complain that a momma spends her food stamps on things "they" don'tapprove of, supports keep Teri "alive" while tax payers foot the bill. Her brain is gone...she doesn't feel pain, therefore she couldn't feel dehyration nor starvation. Removing the tube is the only way for her to "die", if they were to give her a "lethal injection" of something, everyone would have a cow, so its the worse of 2 evils. Neither one being ideal. It is a terrible tragidy but at some point and time those involved must come to some type of acceptance and allow her to simply just go in peace. I am sure her parents and family as well as her DH are all going through pure hell today and yesterday and the day before as well as the past 16 years and tomorrow will be hell for them also up until her last breath and many many years after that. The tubes have been removed now its time to pray for those involved.
