"I also think that someone who needs a respirator should be able to decide whether to go on one or not, and should be able to tell another person what her wishes are should she ever be in that situation. I don't think anyone should ever be hooked up to a respirator if it is against her wishes. As soon as the government starts interfering with an individual's choice in dealing with her own body and medical treatment in any form, I think we are all in big trouble."--valkyrie

ppl do have that option, but not everyone has a living will dictating what they want done in a case where they may need a respirator...

when a baby is born, it still needs the care of others. it has to be fed and changed...which is taking from the mother, just the pocketbook, not the body anymore. so...when it's inside the womb it's one thing, but when it's outside, it's another...?
