[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He didn't die directly from the injuries. He died from some aspect of being in a vegetative state for a decade - could be pneumonia or a respiratory or urinary tract infection or a hospital acquired illness (MRSA or C dif).

He was in the vegetative state due to the crime but his death wasn't directly the result of the crime. [/quote]

but he would not be in this vegetative state were in not for those two murderers. so how can you make that statement?

His parents chose to keep him in a vegetative state for 10 years. So how can you make that statement?[/quote]

Oh well that's just great. So they should have "chosen" to let their son officially die within the first what? Month? Year? So they take that responsibility for themselves and need to live with it? And then it would have been a murder charge?[/quote]

That's why some states have moved away from the year-and-a-day rule.

But keeping your child alive in a vegetative state for 10 years isn't a miracle of modern medicine.  It's a tragedy.[/quote]

I don't think you can judge the parents at all. Pulling the plug is like the abortion debate. We can all be on our high horse, but one day it might be us who is faced with a horrible decision. It's the parents who have to live with the consequences of their decision.[/quote]
