Quote# 58637

The Italian government has been plunged into a constitutional crisis over the fate of a 38-year-old woman who has been in a coma for the past 17 years. Eluana Englaro was left in a vegetative state after a car crash in 1992. After a decade-long court battle, doctors reduced her nutrition on Friday in preparation for removing her feeding tubes, which her father claims would be in accordance with her wishes.

But in an extraordinary turn of events, the country's prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, after consultation with the Vatican, has issued an emergency decree stating that food and water cannot be suspended for any patient depending upon them, reversing the earlier court ruling. On issuing the emergency decree, Berlusconi declared: "This is murder. I would be failing to rescue her. I'm not a Pontius Pilate."

Justifying his campaign to save Englaro's life, the prime minister added that, physically at least, she was "in the condition to have babies"

Former Senator Bill Frist, R-TN, declared that Englaro was merely resting, and invited her family members to admire her lovely plumage.

Berlusconi must be angling for the currently-vacant "worst leader in the Western world" opening.

Yes, starving someone to death IS murder. I have no doubt that someone will try to deny it, but it is, no question. HOWEVER. No one who has been in a coma for 17 years is in good shape to "have babies", and this guy is a tard. Sounds like he's the one who's a vegetable.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!

So you're saying that her own wishes in this matter mean nothing, and that she should be kept alive against what she would have wanted just because she is still young enough to have children?

So who is going to step forward first to rape this comatose woman and help her fulfill her destiny?

Oh come on people, think about it. These guys have a dead man on a torture device as their holy symbol, surely that's a warning sign?

I'd like to call this what it is. one step below the pope openly admiting that women are nothing but baby makers to them.

So let's say theoretically she was 65, removing her feeding tubes would be slightly more acceptable?

Would that then mean that fertile women (which Englaro may or may not have been) are worth more than than the infertile? That leads to a disturbing conclusion.

So...let me get this straight. You're saving her life, and pretending to be a hero over it. Not that she has any life to speak of, as she's just a glimmer of consciousness trapped in a shell...if that even. She is dead, for all intents and purposes. All that keeps her alive are machines, while the God you're pretending to serve is calling her name. And on top of that, the lame ass excuse you come up with, is that her body is capable of conceiving. So you'd take the body of a woman, and just...USE it to churn out babies for...whom? The husband, who no doubt would be appalled at the thought? Or just as a government Rent-a-uterus? The whole prospect of this makes me nauseous, but that little gem at the end makes me physically ill. I try and save this for special occasions, and I think this qualifies.

DIE IN A FIRE, YOU PIECE OF POND SCUM!

If anything, this woman deserves something to get her a dignified death more quickly, as opposed to starving her.

Does it make me a bad person if that made me laugh?

'the prime minister added that, physically at least, she was "in the condition to have babies" '

SICK SICK SICK....this fucktard (along with Pope Bendict & the Vatican patriarchy) sees women as nothing more than baby machines, even in a vegatative state. Fuck the Catholic Church....the church of hypocrisy.

Goddamn it. Not only do they have to starve her to death, instead of letting her go in decency with euthanasia, but now they're fighting to keep her 'alive'? Let her go already, you've put her through enough!

And not alive for her sake, either. Alive so they can use her to squeeze out a couple more babies. I mean, it's not like she's saying no, right...?

(Even sarcastically, I felt sick writing that...)

But, Dude, She's Like, In A Coma!

Besides, she's been unconscious for 17 years. If she does ever come back, life would be tragically awkward for her at best.
