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

Then you did not pay attention.

I'm sorry Mantic- some things you know well.

This topic- not so much.

You're mistaken in what you imagine Egyptians, and now Sudanese are caring about.

You're right. Not something I've had reason to pay much attention to.

It's pretty likely we'll see a far rightwing nutjob post appear on this subject by the end of the day- I anticipate lots of ignorant and uninformed reactions to this news-

As you can see- the people of Egypt- are ecstatic.

Sure

There really should be a third option: 'It's none of my business.'

Personally I have no opinion.

It's a decision for his family to make regardless of what we may think of him.

And while they'e at it pull the plug on Obama too because after fast and the furious his political career is dead in the water...

Slow and Stupid Cons should keep their opinions to themselves.

And incompetent and moronic libs can't take the truth.

Whatever would a Con know about truth when you cull the depths of lunatic conspiracy sites and birther forumns ,and listen to the screeching scum on Fox Noise prattle on with their propangandized headlines of raging paranoia and deliberate lies presented as news? You must be joking. Truth? Cons? ROFLMFAO!

I don't listen to pac-man like you, your mouth is moving but all I hear is Waka waka waka...

Yes but pull the plug on Obama too. He's politically dead.

I just said the same thing without looking at anyone else. lol

Romney's brain dead, how about him instead of Obama who is one of the most intelligent Presidents were have ever had. Only you conservatards hate him..no one else.

Which of Obama's 57 states do you live in? You sound like you could use the services of a Navy Corpse Man. Yeah he's a friggin genius, or at least his teleprompter is. Let's see how the genius reacts when the SCOTUS tosses the only significant legislative work he has to show for the past three years.

A mistatement, a slip of the tongue barely equals Romney terminal gold foot in mouth disease . False equivelency and a damned stupid I might add. By the way, Romney uses a teleprompter ,all smart politicians use teleprompters. Bush used one but he couldn't even speak using that.

It must be frustrating knowing that you are right about everything but the country is moving in a different direction. Hope you're over Wisconsin because it's a walk in the park compared to what next November is going to be like.

The country isn't moving in a different direction. You spend way too much time here on Soda Head with your out of touch, primarily deluded and insane Con friends to be aware of what's going on in the real world. Perhaps you should spend some time on a normal website occasionally , one where everyone is not a victim of Obama Derangement Syndrome. Not everyone despises Obama in the manner in which you so. You might be surprised at how reasonable most people are about his record as opposed to the off the wall insanity that dominates here. By the way, anyone who projects an unusal recall election about a Gubernatorial race into an automatic election victory for The Rombot is a fool.

You sound like an extreme liberal. I define a different direction as moving away from liberalism to conservatism.

Do you dispute any of the following:

A Republican Scott Brown was elected to fill Ted Kennedy's old senate seat. A Republican governor, Scott Walker is the only governor in US history to survive a recall election. He whupped the democrat by a full 7 points.
The Republicans slaughtered the democrats in the 2010 mid terms, winning a near record of 60 house seats to take control there and closed the gap in the senate by 6 seats and picked up 7 governorships while the democrats lost 8, (one apparently went independent)?

Or is it possible that this is the direction you like to see the country moving in?

They should have pulled the plug on this ruthless thug years ago. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

"They" meaning his family. But it is their call not anyone elses!

Only because I think it is the humane thing to do. Why prolong a life that isn't living?

If I had to make a decision then I would say pull the plug, what's the use of him sitting in a bed on life support? He's suffering, better for him to just be relieved. I don't think having your life depend on a machine is even considered living.

It is up to his family, no one else.

That's for his family to decide. If I was in his position, yes i would want to be taken off. Clinically dead means no quality of life. He's not living, he's not alive, his heart is beating. That's about it.

If we are to believe the people telling us this, that is...

Yes

Especially if there is no doubt at all that he won't come out of it.

No need in keeping him alive artificially...Is it just me or does he look like he belongs to the Italian mafia?

It seems to me however that they should never have pulled the plug on his regime--Egypt will be worse off now than they were with him.

It is his family's choice not the public, especially the U.S. public as we might be a little negative toward him.

People have been in coma's for years and years and eventually come out of it.We have no right to decide on another's life,only the family has that right.I would not want anyone to pull the cord on me if I were in the same situation.
I am not answering the question specially to do with him as a person,I am speaking about the morality of pulling the plug on any person period.

They recently changed the term for "clinically dead." The brain has 8 waves of conciousness that are measured. You need 7 of those waves to be flat-lined to be considered "dead." That one last wave is thought to be the brain's reaction to the body's vital organs. At that point, there has never been a case of recovery.

And may i ask what they are waiting for?

DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, TRANSPLANT WHATEVER IT TAKES...OH DOES HE HAVE OBAMA CARE????THEN HE WILL HAVE TO GO TO THE DEATH PANEL..

Just think, you do not have to be a fool or and idiot, you are choozing to do so voluntarily. Why not think before you speak or maybe just think and not speak, if you have nothing constructive to add.

#1 THE QUESTION ASK ABOUT PULLING THE PLUG...NOW DOES THAT SUGEST A SERIOUS QUESTION? #2 THIS IS NOT THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB, IT IS SODAHEAD...HOW F'ING SERIOUS DOES THAT SOUND TO YOU?#3 THIS IS NOT THE INTELLECTUAL ELITE OF THE DEPT. OF STATE, HOW MUCH NEW INSIGHT OF A SERIOUS NATURE DO YOU THINK YOU WILL GET HERE? #4 WE WATCHED AS THE SHAH WAS DEPOSED AND AN EQUALLY WEAK ADMINISTRATION SET ON THE SIDELINE AND GOT SAND KICKED IN OUR FACE, NOW ISLAMIC ZELOTS SEEK TO DO THE SAME THING, AND YOU GET WORKED UP OVER MY LIGHT REMARKS INSTEAD OF "PULL THE PLUG". AND NOT ONLY DO YOU MAKE A COMMENT BUT YOU HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO DEBASE ME IN THE PROCESS...MR. SERIOUS NAMED "EL PREZ" AND THAT SHOWS GRAVITAS? A PICTURE OF PETER GRAVES...AND YOU ARE ON ME FOR NOT BEING SERIOUS....HERE IS A MIRROR, TAKE A GOOD LOOK...

Dream on idiot!!!

Just think, you do not have to be a fool or and idiot, you are choozing to do so voluntarily. Why not think before you speak or maybe just think and not speak, if you have nothing constructive to add.....DO YOU RECOGNIZE THOSE REMARKS? AND YOU OFFERED ME A CHILDISH SCHOOL YARD STATEMENT LIKE "DREAM ON IDIOT"....

You are so right!
