Dead pregnant woman forced to stay on life support, due to TX State law

by adamah in

there's an interesting medicolegal issue arising out of tx, a pregnant women who suffered a pulmonary embolism in november and died (when she was 14 weeks pregnant).. however, the body has been kept on life-support all this time (against her and her husband's wishes), due to an ambiguous tx state law (tex hs.

code ann.

166.049) which actually blocks the ability of the patient and family to decide:.

Adamah, I didn't make any logical fallacy, you're accusing me of doing so is just a strawman fallacy. There you go making those logical fallacies again. If you need additional help keeping your thread on topic and fallacy-free, I suggest you have someone proof-read your posts to make sure they are error-free.

In any event, the state of Texas prizes personal freedom in name only, yet restricts it frequently because Jesus. Some of the legislators there are hypocrites to the highest degree. They accuse others of the very same thing they do.

Adamah, the idiocy in what Sooner was replying too was self evident, your self appointed role of fallacy police (while making many of those fallacies yourself) not withstanding.

How does believing in Jesus challenge people?

Tammy, I have a quick question. I read over some of the stuff you wrote, about Adam and Eve being spirit creatures. If they were never even supposed to be on the Earth, why was it create? Why would God send them to a planet that would kill millions of their children? Is that a "sins of the father" sort of thing that we just need to accept?

Even if there WAS a good reason to NOT stop the tsunami, couldn't he have warned them? If there would have been even worse consequences from that, why can't God just tell us?

Your point number 6 is not true, no one demanding what God said would be in heaven, just saying "how about a home that doesn't kill us?"

Atheism Explained

by Dis-Member in

thought some might find this interesting... .

where do you get your morality from?

don't assume that atheists don't have morals.

Sammielee, it's incredibly rare that a single statement will be true about any large group of people.

As far as the science and the "spirit" world, of course if something's outside of nature it can't be proven. It's unnatural, not supernatural.

The old testament also punished people for negligence, like if they dug a well and someone fell in, I think, or if an axehead came flying off and hit someone? Sounds about right, it's been a long time since I read that. Even by God's own standards would be guilty of negligence.

Who Made The Code?

by Perry in

a few weeks ago, discoveries were made that show that there is another dna code language that rides on top of the already incredibly complex 4-letter code previously discovered.

this newly discovered code apparently regulates how genes work.

as i noted in a previous thread, the amount of data storage available in the dna storage system just the size of a pin-head would filll a stack of books stacked from your driveway to the moon .... 500 times!

Viviane

Perry, why do you think that the amount of books of unknown size stacked to the moon or the number of terabytes matters?

BTW, is that compressed and/or deduplucated terabytes or raw data?

Perry, why do you think how much modern data storage is involved or how many unspecified books it would take means anything?
