I am a parent and I have to tell you that if there were a glimmer of hope that my daughter could live and I could care for her, by God, I would do that. I certainly wouldn't do it to the point of being cruel, but this was a living, breathing person, who needed nutrition, but otherwise was healthy. Yes, she was disabled, but to her parents, she was everything. I understand their sentiment completely.

Amen Logan. I agree completely. I have to wonder about those who fault the parents. Are they parents themselves? I watched Bobby Schindler today giving a statement after Terri's death. He said that we should remember the words of Jesus who said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." As my eyes filled with tears, I thought right then and there that Bobby was a better Christian than I.
