Love your one liner. Precise and to the point.
Posted by: Anh at January 19, 2006 09:43 AMOk, 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.
Posted by: Not Dawn Summers at January 19, 2006 10:33 AMI 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.
Posted by: Sue Dohnim at January 19, 2006 10:44 AMYeah, let's have people exist in a horrible state for as long as possible, while we pray for a miracle. That's the spirit!

Posted by: ken at January 19, 2006 12:29 PMSee 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.
Posted by: Sue Dohnim at January 19, 2006 01:23 PMBefore 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.
Posted by: Sam L. at January 19, 2006 02:22 PMSam, 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.
Posted by: Karol at January 19, 2006 02:25 PMNot 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.
