They can't even save themselves. Who bullied and ostracized Cruz to the point that he felt compelled to act revengefully? The "children" aren't blameless in this, yet I see them doing nothing but blaming inanimate objects and others who had no involvement whatsoever instead of looking in the mirror and saying "We pushed him to this point."
Looks like some SJWs will be triggered by this comment.

Depends. What is the prognosis? If the person is in a persistent vegetative state with no brain activity, I would classify them as dead. If it is medically induced or there is a chance of recovery, that's a different story, whose ending may vary according to legal directives. If there is an advance directive or a guardian with power of attorney, that enters into it. In almost all cases, the organism in a coma has achieved some type of viability which has been interrupted for whatever reason. The zygote has no viability, and is a parasite to the host organism.

A zygote is no more than a growth of tissue like a wart or cyst. It's removal is entirely up to the host who carries it. It has no legal standing and no say in the matter.

There are differences, whether you can see them or not.

No MD will ever tell you there's a 100% certainty a person in a coma will ever recover. They have to have their life maintained artificially. Remove them from the respirator and artificial feeding and hydration, and they die. The same as many unborn children that can now be killed, at will. If they're removed from the womb while still unable to independently sustain respiration, eating, hydrating on their own, they die. There is no difference.

However I do rem once looking at the spelling words in kinder-Wow - words like tranquility,? least in S-FL schools it was that way. They see so much now -nothing is hidden - yes they will figure it out.
What measure would've stopped this?

If the children are more violent, uneducated irrational and unstable than the adults, how can they save anything?

Have you even been on the "March for our lives" or "Never again " websites ? I checked them out last week, looking for a detailed layout of the "changes" they want. I couldn't find anything but tag lines.


Do you know exactly what they want ? What laws have passed ?
