I am guessing you misunderstood something I said. I never once questioned the quality of life that his daughter has. I was tying to point out the aspects they can and should be looking at to see that their daughter's life is of a higher quality that Terri Schiavo's was.
I asked the questions "Can your daughter run and play? Is she getting better? Can she laugh? Is she able to enjoy any aspects of life?"
The answer to all of those for Terri Schiavo was a big time 'NO' and has been so for fifteen years. R_S_M, has made it clear his daughter is not in such a horrible state of existence and has a chance to enjoy life. That was the point I was trying to make. A lot of people seem to wish to group all those with handicaps or medical issue together, when the problems are very often about as different as can be. That has been very clear to me during all of the Terri Schiavo case.
And I do so very much understand just what a child can bring to people's lives. I have two boys who I can say have truly been a positive aspect on many people's lives, even those who barely know them. They are full of life and show pure joy for living life. That is picked up by others and odes have an impact.
He has been much more insulting towards me and my children, than I have been towards his. Go and read the comment he left that I replied to. He more or less says I have no business having kids. I have yet to say anything close to that level towards him.
If you truly wish to try and get your views across, I would recommend you not try to defend idiots such as Red_States_Man, who is about the worst example of a conservative as it gets. His views are weak and poorly thought out. He shows himself to be part of the true problem, without any clue as to a real solution. He points his finger every where he can with no real justification to back his claims up. You come off much more intelligent than him, but by defending him, just because he believes as you do, it makes it appear that you are closer to his level than I think you are.

I so badly would love to tell you the facts and show you just how screwed up, as always your comment is, btu I can not write anything serious today, so you'll have to wait till tomorrow for nay real reply to that.
Right now, you need to be looking out for an evil frog, with hatred for all mankind, pulling itself around by it front legs. I think it might be mad at me. Go read my other posts to find out what I am talking about.
You almost made me get serious here. Shame on you.

on behalf of RSM
If you're all for people making their own decisions in these matters, perhaps you should steer clear of questioning RSM about the quality of his daughter's life.
He and his wife know something about the gifts people like his daughter bring to other's lives, something you don't understand, and may never. You cross your own line when you start talking about his daughter.

Can your daughter run and play? Is she getting better? Can she laugh? Is she able to enjoy any aspects of life? That is what I measure quality of life on. If a person can not enjoy any aspect of life, then their life has no quality to it.
You need to stop being such a pure and total idiot when you leave comments. You seem to enjoy showing just how pathetically poorly thought out your views are. You really have no clue as to what you say when you type anything here. You are hopeless and sad. I truly hope that some day you come out of this blindness you have put yourself in and start to think and see and learn and grow. Instead you wish to stay and blind and ignorant.
You have no true value for life at all.

That should be up to the individual as to what level of living they are willing to suffer through. In the case of Terri since, she can not speak for herself, then it just makes sense to allow her husband to speak for her. I know that if my wife were to have any such issues, she knows that I would be the one who would most likely look out for what is best for her and what she would desire. With this case I very honestly believe that Terri would wish to be allowed to die. I would think anyone in their right mind would not wish to live for fifteen years in a vegetative state.
But you really do not seem to care about simple rights with your stand on this. You are all for forcieng people to live no matter what.
Are you really that scared fo death? So scared that you refuse to see the simple fact that there are times when it is better to be allwoed to die than forced to live?

conservatives would rather a person persist in a living hell for decades than be allowed to die and escape such?

Since...
my daughter was on a feeding tube 7 years ago and is handicapped now and can only say "Mama" and "Daddy"; I guess she does not have a "quality of life". Thanks so much for your stupid ass liberal worthless comments empty headed painter. Like I say, I agree with liberals on abortion, I feel that all liberals should practice abortion often and frequently.
