Terri Schiavo Before dehydration
Terri is not being murdered - she is being allowed to die to be with God, instead of hooked up to an artificial creation of man. It seems everyone is clinging to the physical, and not spiritual, aspect of her being. I'm sure Terri would like to be at peace with her Eternal Father; it's her parents who sadly can't let go.
People tell themselves this because they want to deny what is really being done to Terri. This Judge has denied the parent's motion to give Terri food and water by mouth! Exactly what "artificial creation of man" is that -- a spoon? If this is not murder then nothing is. This order is not only illegal it is immoral and no American citizen should sleep well with a judge being able to issue such an order and, what is worse, not having it rejected out of hand by elected officials and ordinary, decent people. Somehow I don't think Teddy Roosevelt would have taken such a order lying down.
This precedent is frightening and sickening and I hope that one day the American people will look back to this ordeal and wonder how we could ever have tolerated it, similarly to how we now wonder how our predecessors could have tolerated slavery. I do not think we will be judged kindly.
Next you cut yourself, don't use a bandaid or bandage, because unless you get yours from a 'Bandaid Bush' growing in the wild, they are an 'artificial creation of man'.
Welcome, Newbie.
A spoon of food from her mother's hand is not an artificial creation of man, and she's being denied that as well. She IS being murdered.
Your portrayal of euthanasia as a painless spiritual experience is sickening. By your definitions anyone not completely capable of self support should be terminated. Does this include anyone on life insulin, Dialysis, or a Pace maker? How about an infant?
Make sure you never seek emergency room treatment, because an IV is also an artifical creation of man. Better that you are allowed to die to be with God.
Another one who speaks without knowing the facts of the case. Why don't you learn them?
I guess we need to take these same artifical creations of man away from you too, the spoon and the cup. Then you can go ahead and feel the effects of terminal dehyration without the use of morphine. Then you can be allowed to die and be with your maker, or he may send you somewhere else.
