Love your one liner. Precise and to the point.

Ok, you know what I was gonna comment here, but then I remembered that you will be saving me and my plasma from the serial killer, so...karol is smart and it is quite obvious that her innate intelligence and grace is the reason that she does not walk into walls.

I am heartsick over this and heartsick at having to explain to dolts out there why we shouldn't rush to "let Haleigh/Terri/Grandma go."

I can't talk to them any more. It's too much.

Yeah, let's have people exist in a horrible state for as long as possible, while we pray for a miracle. That's the spirit!

See what I mean? They don't know. They'll never know. Twenty, thirty years from now, the only question they will ask is "How did this happen?" And they still won't know, even when they've been told over and over again. Just like last time.

Before we start crusading for the rights of vegetables, maybe we should start worrying about the sentient being who are denied health care because they live (and die) in poverty.

Sam, if you're talking about America then I'm sure you know that poor people have something called Medicaid which grants them free healthcare.

And, we don't know that this girl is a 'vegetable', why not error on the side of life? Further, it's never ok to starve someone to death. We don't starve dogs to death, we shouldn't starve people.

Not that the state shouldn't be castigated for their rush to remove life support from a girl who apparently isn't done fighting, but the court's ruling that her father (who will face either murder or battery charges depending on whether she lives or not) should have no say in the process was the correct one.
