lets remove that feeding tube, please?

i thought about Terri Shaivo and her feeding tube. Would i want to live for 15 years propped up in a bed, gurgling and just staring off into space. My middle son has been alive for 14 years, almost as long as poor Terri has been in a vegetative state.

i say...........let me lay there for about 6 months, after that...there's no use. The highlights of your days............. 8 a.m. nurse comes in to check feeding tube. 9 a.m. Nurse props me up. Nurse's aid makes joke about putting me in a clown suit and i wouldn't even know.

No thanks. any comments? -Janie
