Maybe I've missed a discussion or maybe I'm sounding heretical, but can you be in a 'semi-vegatative state' and still orgasm? If so, is that much different from being blind drunk and not remembering the next morning how good it was the night before? Is the cognitive power of the brain stem more worthy of life than the climaxing power of the body? Can I give power of attorney to my ATF on the condition that three times a day she give me a world-class bbbjtccimws? The bb won't scare me then, the ws might lack its mystical erotic power, but the tccim should still "feel" great -- though I don't pretend to comprehend the intricacies of any automated sexual response, I'm just thinking -- if the most fun I ever had was getting laid and I can still get laid, then why shouldn't I get laid? And would this apply (perhaps even moreso) to someone in a comatose state? I can only imagine the red state panic were this concept to take hold and vegetables everywhere start getting their rocks off...but given the recent debacle of righteousness, it made me wonder: any amenable hospice recommendations? Or would they lose their license for pandering?

That would be one hell of a provider.
Seriously, if you can put your pet to sleep peacefully, Terry should have had that same right to die without being tortured for 2 weeks.

Great idea. Personally I want to be kept alive no matter what. If I can't eat, I want a feeding tube. If I can't breath, I want a lung machine. Once my kidneys start going, bring on the dialysis machine. I am going to appoint Tom DeLay as my power of attorney because hell I know he will get anyway so why not... Finally when my heart stops, I want my head kept in a fridgerator so I can rejoin the living with a new body when they find away to attach heads to different bodies..

cheers...
