The Following comment came up in the comments section of one blog and as a blog itself.

Starving children in third world countries, including USA, and those who are in the final episode of life, due to illness and/or injury, are not equatable. I would never advocate starving healthy people.

Let's dissect this statement a bit.  First, let us remove the phrase "including USA" as that is highly controversial that there are any truly starving children in America (with Welfare and WIC).  Starving in America is not eating prime rib once a week. Also, no one in their right mind would argue,no matter how poor some of the people are in the USA, that America is a third world country.

Ok, so the author says - I would never advocate starving healthy people.

But arguably, starving people are not healthy.  They have many other problems besides the lack of food, most of them related to the lack of food - malnutrition, Disease, shortened life spans, stunted growth, etc.  So while the author says she does not advocate starving healthy people, does she advocate starving unhealthy ones? If so then all those starving children in third world countries should starve.  After all, as the quackpots that say that death by starvation is 'euphoric', that may be the best thing for the starving third world people.  They dont have the money to buy drugs and alcohol.

But she also says - Starving children in third world countries, .....and those who are in the final episode of life, due to illness and/or injury, are not equatable

Yet aren't they?  Those starving children in third world countries have no hope for any kind of quality of life as defined by those that are advocating Terry Schiavo's death.  At best, they can look for a few years of subsistant existance before disease, war or famine takes their life.  So while they do not have a feeding tube, they are dependant on others to be fed.  They are 'parasites' as one Blogger commented recently on another issue (that one was on fetuses).

So would not allowing them a few days of euphoria be much preferable to a short, unproductive and pain filled life?  Is that not what Euthanasia is?  Is that not what they are advocating with Terry Schiavo?

So I submit that her statement is false.  It is EXACTLY the same thing.

So anyone rooting and cheering for Terry Schiavo to starve to death, I brand you a hypocrit if you give one cent to the Children's Christian Fund, or any other organization that is devoted to help starving PEOPLE (not all are Children Author) in third world countries.

And to bring back the final part of the quote - including the USA - if you advocate or help any starving people in the USA through Welfare, WIC, charitable donations, or volunteering, I also brand you a hypocrit!

You play God and make up rules as you go along, never understanding what they hell you are talking about, or even why you do it.  But now we know.  You do it because it makes YOU feel good, and you care not of the people helped or hurt as long as you can fill your belly and watch your telly.

Hypocrits!
