Reply #43: The person who makes the decision should be the one who lives with it

[Nobody]

In this case the parents are living with their decision for their daughter. No complete stranger is waltzing in, ordering the family to select Option X and then waltzing away, leaving them to deal with the consequences. Their daughter can't decide for herself, the family is caring for her, and they get to decide.

So many of the Antis, whether they're Anti abortion, Anti stem cell research, Anti this or that, have absolutely no stake in the decision. They never have to even see the consequences of choices they make for others let alone live with them.

Who am I to judge? I'm not the one who will be caring for Ashley. I will never even meet Ashley. The decision is not mine to make.
