Rex Kickass Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 There's an interesting article in Slate today talking about the blogging outcry of a Texas woman who was removed from life support last month because of economic considerations despite her being conscious and responsive. I'm not really sure what I think about the issue or the concept behind the article. But its interesting and I'm curious to see what you guys think about it. http://www.slate.com/id/2133518/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong & Owens Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jan 3, 2006 -> 10:33 AM) There's an interesting article in Slate today talking about the blogging outcry of a Texas woman who was removed from life support last month because of economic considerations despite her being conscious and responsive. I'm not really sure what I think about the issue or the concept behind the article. But its interesting and I'm curious to see what you guys think about it. http://www.slate.com/id/2133518/ I wonder where all those spotlight-hogging jackasses that went to bat for Terry Schiavo were during all this. Does the "Culture of Life" not include people in the president's own back yard? Or does it just not include those who can't afford it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Sadly, we have the attention span of a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Terry case pitted a soon to be ex-husband against her parents. I think that was more the debate than taking her off, of course it spun off into that, but the root was who makes the decision.
