its never good when someone dies, but lets not turn this into the biggest event since the civil war. One person died. People die all the time. She was a vegetable that could not talk or communicate. It isnt like she died in the prime of her life. And for all we know she was in pain every day for the last 15 years and we just eased her pain.
And like vol said, i dont know a single family member or friend that would want to be alive for 15 years like that. if not for themselves but for their families. I wouldnt want to be a burden to my family for 30 years. And i know the parents wanted her alive, but my parents would do the same thing, that is what parents do. A good child wouldnt want to put their own parents in that position.
by the way,if she was an 80 year old black women living in harlem we would never had heard about this.
