Yeah, getting back to Liquor Dealer's post, Pat Oliphant is a hell of a cartoonist.
And I think its an interesting idea that the reason the fundies protesting have a problem with pulling the tube is their own fear of death and eternity. Its also interesting because not all hyper-christians take the same view. There are, of course, those who don't belive in modern medicine at all (Christian Scientists maybe?). Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to accept blood transfusions and usually carry very restrictive living wills.
One wonders where "respect for life" became "we must perserve life in any sembalance of its form until the bare bitter end through whatever medical technology man has created."
