Mubarak Is 'Clinically Dead': Should They Pull the Plug on Him?

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was been declared clinically dead. The 84-year-old politician reportedly suffered a stroke Tuesday morning, just a few weeks after receiving a life sentence for the deaths caused last year by Arab Spring protests against his prolonged presidency. Within hours, Mubarak was pronounced clinically dead. He's still on life support, but not likely to recover.

Initially, Reuters was told by the military that they could not use the term "clinically dead" because he was being kept alive. One source described his condition as "completely unconscious ... using artificial respiration." However, it was enough to elicit "cheering and fireworks" in Tahrir Square, USA Today reports. Does it sound like Mubarak can be put to rest, or should doctors keep working on him?

    So the voters want to murder him? Guess the concept of evil and hate needs to be reviewed.

    It's not up to the public to decide who pulls the plug, that's a family decision.

    Agree with others - this is not our call to make. If he was sentenced to Death, then it wouldn't be an issue. He was not, thus it is a private matter with his family.

    They should not pull the plug on MubaraK. They should hang him, mince him and then throw him into the drainages to be used as a poison for rats.

    Assuming that he is clinically dead, they should just pull the plug. No way for him to recover.

    God is not the taker of life. Death is our choice. God gives life not death. The devil gives death. That is the last enemy to be defeated. If God gave death God would be defeated.

    I clicked "no" .....It doesn't really matter what anyone thinks other than the next of kin
    Frankly, I'm surprised noone from the opposition hasn't burst in and done it already or for that matter that he was put on life support at all.

    why should we have any say at all, I assume he isn't under our obamacare med program so his family probably still have the right to make that decision.

    We don't know what his condition is. Reports from Egypt have been confusing and if the video of him being transported to the hospital were any indication, he's far from dead.

    It is pretty much known that if a person was once a "king" and isnt he would suffer greatly. Specially that Mubarak was once a hero in the eye of his people, so he believes that he deserves to live a wealthy life while 20% I think are below the line of poverty..

    General principle aside, we also know that the folks telling us he is "clinically dead" likely want him dead and done away with.

    I don't mean to be overly patronizing friend- but we don't even have a consensus on the 11 Muslims who voted on THIS poll- let ALONE "know" what Egyptians want.
    The bizarre and massive mistake I see from analyses from these United States is- that Egyptians are some monolithic vote on any issue anywhere, anytime.


    Maybe you have some insight into the political views of the 82 million Egyptians you speak for?
    No?
    Spend one day of your life on twitter- follow #jan25- the revolution's feed-
    then tell me about what the Egyptian people are telling us.


    Trust me- you've never seen political battles like this.

    Now- back to the average uninformed and mindlessly judgmental Conservative American view from Sodahead- on this issue.

    Terri Schiavo.

    Now tel me about how the right, loves the Constitution. How son they forget.

    The 82 million? No, it is a very limited number of people in charge of Mubarak's handling. And they are all part of the power that deposed him (not the masses of civilians, but the leaders who seek authority now, and those in their direct service). I'm sure that IF there are lies being told, almost all of those 82 million are just as much on the receiving end.

    I speculate only based on how unusual it is to keep a deposed ruler alive in any such case.

    And I've no interest in trying to defend hypocrisy from anyone, of any political orientation. I think we've touched that subject before...

    But thank you for the Twitter hashtag. I'll make use of it.

    Don't bother. The only people who care about it are zionists and American evangelicals.

    And if you think the "masses" had no impact on deposing Mubarak- you have not been paying attention for the past 2 years.

    I discount "the masses" in any revolution as a mostly unreasoning force, exploited by a few. That many hated Mubarak just means there aren't many who care if they are lied to about his health in the interest of expedience.

    As you mentioned, the situation worries Zionists (and other neocons). Which is probably good reason for it to worry other Americans.
