    Feeding tube...

    I think this is a very hard decision from all point of views.

    If I were the husband of this woman and I had thought, "Okay, it's been 13 yrs., nothing's changed, would she have wanted it this way?" etc. I'm sure the questions in this man must go on for miles.

    If I were the family of this woman, I think all I could think, is one day she will return to us. Unfortunately, I feel this is false hope however, miracles do happen.

    The Governor who's hands this lie in. "I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't." "Please God, could you answer this one for me?"

    The way I feel about it. If it were me. Yes, I would want my husband to give me time to see if there was any chance of recovery. However, for myself I would have limited this to maybe at most a year. I truly can't belive this has gone on for 13 yrs. I think her family is delusional(sp) in thinking thier daughter may ever recover and I'm sure that is a painful fact to accept. However there has to come a time where enough is enough! Just curious but what have her doctors said about her chances of ever recovering? I can't imagine that they have been too optimistic.
