>I don't remember it being a common argument that she should live because God would miraculously heal her. It was one of many arguments for continuing care. No, it wasn't the only argument, but I remember it being a fairly common one.
I remember the dozens of websites popping up around the time and the frequent call for "prayer warriors." there are still a few pages around, but a lot of them went away with the demise of Geocities, or just link rotted. |

Yes there were people praying for her to be fully healed, but there's a difference between believing it's possible to be healed and arguing that we should keep her alive primarily because of that possibility.
The focus of the argument was that her life was already worth living because they believed she was still conscious, and other sanctity of life issues. At the end, the most common argument was that it was cruel to deny someone food and water. They were talking about how the family couldn't even give her ice chips.
The pro feeding tube people believed she should keep being fed regardless of whether God was going to heal her.
