"Who? Terri Schiavo? Doesn't ring a bell …"
Wow let this poor soul go home with his parents and may God have mercy. I said the same for Terri.
Terris list pro life ping
More than one person is guilty of murder in her death.
Yes, this has reminded me of Terri.
Even post death Terry’s case was sad and shocking. I couldn’t believe a forensic autopsy had not been done. I think her husband did this to her.
35 years ago I took a medical ethics coarse. One of the case reviews was a severely mentally retarded man that was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. His mother who I think was in her late 80’s and some of the docs just wanted to do palliative care.
Somehow the courts got involved and it ended up in the Massachusetts’s Supreme Court. They ruled the family and those doctors were too emotionally involved to make decisions and it should be up to the courts. (i.e. The State knows better than the individual.)
Similar to the ancient Greek practice of allowing an unfit child to die on a hillside alone.
Barbaric then. Barbaric now.
"Who? Terri Schiavo? Doesn't ring a bell …"
There’s at least one person on FR who claims it was a valid exercise in judicial authority to starve Terri Schiavo to death.
