She's brain dead......according to several doctors. Her husband, who has federal headship over her, has made the decision. I'm surprised to see good reformed christians so willing to sell out their federal headship to the government. Oh well, reap the consequences and cry later.
Perhaps we differ on the definition of "Federal Headship" and what authority the head of a covenant family has? One might conclude from what you seem to be saying, re: Federal Headship, that if a husband demanded that his wife abort her unborn infant, she should comply and it would be pleasing to God? If not, why is it in this case that this man has the authority to take the life of his wife. Murder is murder is murder, no matter how one tries to dress it up.

If Terri has never stated her wishes should such an unfortunate situation should befall her, then I believe that one must assume that she desires life. Oh.... btw, for anyone to say that the woman is brain dead is in fact brain dead themselves. Brain dead people don't look around, breathe on their own, move, etc. Unless of course, the videos that have been broadcast on international news are totally fabricated and she is in fact brain dead. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/igiveup.gif" alt="" /> The ONLY thing she is in need of is a feeding tube, something which many people are using. Why is this woman being singled out for death? (Hint) look no further than her godless, unfaithful husband's greed who is being encouraged by a bunch of godless, greedy lawyers. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif" alt="" />
