Re: Republicans?

i think i heard that she might have had a shot if they had approached it from a different angle. the judges just made a decision on the fact that where presented to them. i feel that the only thing congress did wrong was try to get publicity at of a sorry situation. they never over ruled the judges, all they did was ask the judge to reconsider, i think.

I don't want to sound mean but i am happy that she is dead. I would want them to pull the plug on me if i was a PVS.

Sounds like the pope is about to bring her to heaven

Terry Schiavo Must Die:
The time has come for the inevitable end of this story, this miserable lot of the last fifteen years etc etc...

This is absolutely correct.

The moral decision would be to let her die, simply because it costs money to keep a body alive, and that money should go toward helping other people who have some sort of chance at living a real life.

acmatos, it would be most respectful of Terri to let her die, not the other way around. Terri was braindead- she's been gone. Virtually every doctor that examined her came to the same conclusion- she isn't conscious, even though she shows conscious-like behavior, like smiling, grabbing your hand, eyes tracking movement, etc. Her husband has had to move on- it's senseless to accuse someone of being heartless because they have remarried after the loss of a spouse. And Michael Shiavo spending 13 years to "kill" his wife is a gross distortion of his or one in his position's intentions: to free someone of their life when it has become an unending nothingness.

The fact that the media have construed Terri as brain-alive when in fact she is braindead and in turn have made it look like anyone who wanted her to die as soulless monsters is unacceptable and undermines critical thinking on this issue.
