May Terri Schiavo rest in peace, and may George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, Tom Delay, Bill Frist, Randall Terry and Jesse Jackson rot in hell for using her as a political pawn.
RIP One thought that I had was that if they were going to let her die wasn't there an easier way than starving her for 13 days?? No one know how conscious she is or how much pain she feels. Wouldn't it have been more humane to give her some drugs to kill her quickly instead of starving her?? But in reality there are hundreds of Terri Shiavo's accross every city in Hospice's. I don't know why this one recieved more attention than the others.
I agree. Unfortunately euthanasia is illegal and will be as long as this administration is in charge (the Justice Department is fighting the state of Oregon on their relatively new right to die law). May Terri Schiavo have peace.
Because (1) she had no living will and (2) her widower disagreed with her parents about whether she would have wanted to be kept alive in the vegitative state she was in. I sincerely hope that the result of all of this will be that everyone who has a will also has a living will or directive.
RIP This i sone instance where I disagree with my republican friends. I believe the (majority of) medical experts who said she was in a PVS and therefore will go with what her husband asked.
This thing is sooo ridiculous. 1. Why does she have to starve to death? If court approved her death, then let it be quick, easy and painless. 2. Why didn't her husband give the custody to her parents? Her parents want to take care of her, let them do it! It seems not about the money, there aren't much left. I guess it is just because Michael Schiavo hates his in-laws so much. Personally, I agree she was dead 15 years ago and death is probably a relieve to her, but there are just too many things don't make sense to me.
That is so wrong but I still laughed. I watched that episode this morning. They should have let her die a long time ago. Hopefully she has found some peace. Her parents should be ashamed.
Its not because he hates his in-laws... it was because he loved his wife so much, and he knew her wishes better than her parents did. If you're married, or if you are going to be married, imagine how you'd feel if your wife's parents (who don't have close to the amount of contact w/ her that you have) decided that they knew what she would really want, and they called you a no-good liar. You'd be pretty upset w/ them too.
I myself have supported the legal and medical rulings and believe that Terry Schiavo's passing has been proper in respect to her own wishes, the law and the founding principles of individual liberty, separation of powers and federalism of this country. Still I would wish peace to the Shindlers. Their determination to keep a loved one alive in the face of all odds isn't necessarily something to be ridiculed but to be appreciated. Hopefully they can move on and mourn their daughter as she should've been 15 years ago. I wish peace upon Michael Schiavo and his family and hopes this allows him to move on with his life. I wish peace on everyone else who has bitterly fought this case. Hopefully this will spark greater understanding of end of life situations. Finally I wish peace upon Terry Schiavo. I never met her and know very little about the person she was. From what I know she was an unfortunate victim of a tragic medical situation and then just as tragically thrust into potentially one of the most controversial legal cases of this country. I don't believe in Heaven or Hell but I do believe in a soul and wherever that soul is I hope its at peace.
