"Your lack of compassion is astounding"
I sympathize entirely with having a loved one dwelling on in a reactive coma-like state. You might want to take a deep breath before you hurl these things at me, as I have been there.
To not let go of a family member when they are gone in all real ways and are just a shadow of flesh is the essence of sick.
For politics and the media to pander to this compulsion is even more disgusting.
To use the living corpse of someone to further your own will, when your will is predicated on an emotional, unreasoned, selfish and self-serving fantasy is pretty despicable, especially when numerous people have testified that this woman had said explicitly that she didn't want to ever be forced into this mode of being.
I find your rush to judge my position in derogatory emotional terms grandstanding for the crowd.
