[QUOTE="aspenleaf, post: 225774, member: 5143"] [COLOR=black]You bring up some interesting things to consider. In the case of Schiavo many believe she was already "dead" and CT scans showed severe atrophy of the brain. If you believe in an after life then it could be considered very cruel to keep the spirit trapped in a dead body (only kept alive by machines). I may be alone here but I supported them pulling the plug on Schiavo. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]You abortion debate is something to think about.
