This is a video of Lauran Richardson. Whether she is conscious or not is irrelevant to her equal moral worth as a human being. But she seems reactive to me, particularly when she is being stroked and loved by her father.
The fight in this case is over whether she lives as a profoundly disabled woman or is made to die slowly over two weeks by dehydration—as Terri Schiavo did.
If we did that to a dog, we would go to jail. Do it to a disabled woman who needs a feeding tube and it it is called medical ethics.
