Whoa, folks....we're about four posts past this being "Touchy Subject" material.
Let's look at it this way. Everyone is basically agreeing that life is something unique and special. This means that some believe that Elliot deserves a chance, and should be allowed to keep fighting. Others, however, believe that this life of Elliot shouldn't have any pain, since that's all that he would have to look forward to.
I personally believe life is sacred from womb to the tomb. While I do not agree with Torque's stance, I understand that her stance comes from her unwillingness to witness a life suffering, and that is something that I can empathize with. Who wants to see something suffering?
Whether or not you believe that Elliot should never have had to experience that pain at all, or if that the love and attention given to him by his parents was correct, I shouldn't judge you for it. It's a personal choice. My beliefs say that your beliefs are wrong, but this doesn't give us an excuse to hate. What it does give us, is the opportunity to exercise rational thought and logic, sit down, and agree to disagree, go our seperate ways, and live our lives by the choices we make.
Now, let's all take a deep breath and calm down.

Everyday you reinvent yourself into a bigger cock-shite than ever. It's incredible. I don't know how you do it. I admire you.
I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
