If the parents want to share thier story I think that's great but I don't understand the need to create a voyaristic environment for thier daughter. To me that is little better then putting her in a zoo and letting people file by.]]>Nov 13th 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/Nov 13th 2009 7:17PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/Nov 13th 2009 4:16PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/
I mean people live there. It's there home. You want them filmed 24/7 and invade their privacy? I mean I understand you want the abuse and theft to go down, but putting cameras there are not the answer. ]]>Nov 13th 2009 7:51PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/Nov 13th 2009 4:45PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/Nov 13th 2009 5:29PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/Nov 13th 2009 6:21PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/
Abraham Lincoln said "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

Sometimes we hold onto things to make ourselves feel better and we're not thinking so much about the people we think we're protecting. I think the simple fact that suicide is illegal proves a point. Ending ones life has no more effect on that person but has many lasting effects on the people around them.

I know personally if I were unable to walk or talk and all I did was lay in bed and rely on people to, in essence, live my life for me I'd be completely ashamed. More so even that I couldn't end my own suffering and so was making their suffering worse. Why should the healthy in this situation get to be the matyr just because the handicapped can't do anything about it.

I know people think I'd feel different if it were my child or friend that was disabled but I wouldn't. Hate me even more but if they could communicate they wanted something drastic - I would assist them.

This is only my opinion and how I feel about it. I have already told my family I never wish to be a burden on them and if anything were ever to happen to me they know my wishes.]]>Nov 13th 2009 5:14PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/Nov 13th 2009 6:24PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/Nov 13th 2009 6:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/Nov 13th 2009 7:21PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/Nov 13th 2009 7:23PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/Nov 13th 2009 8:46PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/10/parents-start-24-7-webcast-of-disabled-daughter/ Many americans do not think that health care is a right but a privelage. This young lady was not given the opportunity of a choice, as were the parents, as were many many others in this cruel world.
We all need a wake up call. This young lady represents each and every one on this planet.]]>Nov 13th 2009 9:17PM
