I can't believe these nutjobs still cling to the Terry Schaivo case. They may have had a case (albeit a very shaky one) before she died, but the autopsy confirmed beyond any doubt that she'd been brain-dead for years.

She was irretrievably brain dead; the autopsy confirmed that beyond a doubt. What was lying in that bed before the machinery was removed was therefore, to all intents and purposes, not a person but a corpse that was being prevented from decaying.

Oh, Godwin. It had been a while, but you've somehow managed to rear your ugly head yet again ...

She was brain dead. People havetheir organs removed for donation when they're brain dead.
Actually that explains a lot about the fundie mindset.

As every decent person knows, life begins at conception, ends at birth, and resumes upon brain death.

I may be wrong, but wasn't Terri's brain found to be in a condition similar to Oetzi's?

Godwin. Also, people who are terminally ill, or who do not have the capacity to think, the person who has the power of attourney can shut-off life support. YOU FAIL.

Meanwhile, in Texas, a law W Bush signed allows hospitals to pull the plug on uninsured people if they can't shuffle them off to long term care facilities. Even against the family's will. (like one hospital did to an African woman a few months after T. Schiavo was finally taken off life support. No protesters... wonder why?)

More Eric Schwartz:
So you’ll execute a person and then protect the single cell?
But mercy kill the terminally ill and you’re going straight to Hell?
Well, I don’t know much about the word of God, far be it from me
But I can tell you what it ain’t, that’s hypo-Christianity.

Not to belittle the loss of a human being, but saying that Terry Schiavo was "disabled" is like saying that a car with no engine is just "running a little rough."
Life without Quality of Life is no life at all.

@LabRat: They did that? Sunnova bitch.
And Terri wasn't 'disabled.' She was brain-dead. There's a difference.

She was brain dead. She had been in that condition for 15 years.
She was in that condition because she was bulimic. Therefore guilty of pride and vanity. Her husband spent 15 years trying everything he could for her (I hate how the media crucified him). Finally he decided to let her go.
Your telling me that you would like to be in that condition for the rest of your life? If she was able to feel pain and was conscious, wouldn't keeping her alive be a form of torture?
@Lab Rat ~ That's absolutely disgusting. Just one more reason to hate that fucking man.

If you believe that garbage FOS, you're as brain-dead as Terri Schiavo was.

Yeah, most people would argue a non-functioning brain IS a disability...
Fundies, though, seem to view it as a requirement.

You mean people with disabilities, don't you. Or in this case, a person with brain-death.

Being a vegetal and technically with a dead brain is not a mere disability, I think.

What type of fundamentalism is this? It's stupid, yes, and certainly misinformed, but FeastOnScraps doesn't mention religion once in any of her comments.

Terri Sciavo wasn't just brain dead, much of her brain was gone, replaced by fluid.

Permanently brain dead is worse then disabled.
