Re: Gus > What was left of her was but a soulless, flabby carcass
So what? Just like a baby, all she needed was someone to feed her in order that her "carcass" could stay alive.
Come on, let's be serious! A baby is a "work in progress", a full-fledged person en devenir (ie, evolving). The human foetus is but the first iteration of a lifelong, cumulative process that ultimately blossoms into a full-blown, if flawed, human being --quite different from a degenerative stasis that boils down to a digestive canal fed at one end, and squeezed at the other....
Re: And indeed, it took thirteen days of total starvation to finally kill (the rest of) her which shows she wasn't completely dead after fifteen years.
No, there was nothing left to "kill". Terri Schiavo's soul left her crippled body 15 years ago... Do you realize that, by your definition of death, it would be possible to keep everybody alive... for ever!? Every dying person would just be rushed to the hospital, plunged into some cryogenic box, plugged into a feeder and... Bob's your uncle!
Re: You may like to play God but I don't.
Well, if that Mr God of yours allowed Terri Schiavo to turn brain-dead in the first place, it surely couldn't hurt for "mere mortals" to take over at that point.... |
