I don't think neurodegenerative diseases are typically considered disabilities, but I'm not sure by any means.
As a guess, the basic concept of a judgement based on "quality of life" could be offensive to someone who might be considered by some to have a "lesser" quality of life themselves.
Give it time and they'll be back to "Youth-in-Asia will kill your grandmother!"Pro-life posters still arguing against state ordered euthanasia as opposed to palliative care and a very carefully constructed legal argument, with considerable oversight and additional public scrutiny, that his parents were not acting in his interests.
Maybe they are uncertain of the strength of their arguments, so they argue against something that didn't happen.
This statement does not gel with your other posts in this thread, especially not with your OP.
Furthermore, human society has been fairly consistent with attributing identity to body, even in death. Someone no longer being viable or becoming brain-dead does not reduce their body to be an accessory that can be drug around. Indeed, the parents were very clear about what they feel in regards to Alfie's body: that it is Alfie.
Except that's not what happened. The disease sealed his fate long before any people got involved.
I'm not talking about Alfie.
This thread is about Alfie. You were quoting and responding to a post about Alfie.
Of course you were talking about Alfie, unless you're just saying random things again. Purple monkey dishwasher.
"it was for the sake of the killed one".
It also isn't hard to think of a reason why determining someone's fate based on their internal experiences is a bad idea.
And it suits my own point,
I was talking about what policy should be, which might have affected how children like Alfie are treated. It wasn't about Alfie himself.
That doesn't change my point, at all. If your statement isn't applicable to Alfie's situation, then it also isn't applicable to "children like Alfie." So what you said didn't actually apply to the situation at issue in this thread, regardless of whether you meant Alfie specifically, or cases like his more generally.
Which means it is either off-topic in this thread, or random nonsense.

Other than CFCers who are committed to their position is there any serious opposition to the widely held position that studies of reflex action indicate that pain exists outside of brain tissue?
Tim, I've probably not discussed my credentials on CFC to answer this question in some time, but can you rephrase what you're asking?
