That's just the way it is.

It is an obvious politcal move. Probably to excite the far right base when then will try and run either Juliani or McCain in '08.
this goes beyond being that simple. Firstly , she is tube fed, her mouth needs constant suction becuase she cannot swallow her own saliva, not to mention the bed sores she has from being immobile for 15 years. who pays for her care, we do. when the parents can no longer afford to pay the medical costs, they call a social worker for the state, who finds that she is indigent with no means of reparation. Hence we, you, me and every other working stiff subsidize a gork for the next x years.perris said:the presidents point of view is that the parents want to feed their child and he wants to let them do it.
I agree
what's the differance if she can't recover...what's the differance to you or to me or to her?
what is the differance?
her parents think she's alive and they want to feed her.

The parents are involved because they are her parents and it doesn't matter how old your child is you never stop caring.Lee said:I don't understand why the parents are involved anyway. They are married the father and mother gave their daughter away at the wedding, so the husband has the right to make any decision as vice versa does the wife if the husband was in the same situation also.

it's up to whoever loves this girl to protect her when they think she needs that protectionIt's up to the husband to make the choice.
