So, are people here who demonized Michael Shiavo and those like me who sided with him, going to apologize for all the falsehoods, lies and hatred they've shown?
Now you don't like him for his actions during the last day of Terri's life, and the days after her passing?
What you don't seem to understand is Michael and Terri's family COULDN'T be in the same room TOGETHER. Who would want to? He, falsely accused, loudly and repeatedly of being a murderer by them and being charged over a dozen times in court, and them believing he was responsible for their daughter's condition and of wanting to murder her. So, whenever her family came over, Michael would go into another room and wait there until they left.
Didn't he have the right to be with Terri at the moment of her death? If he WASN'T there, wouldn't the criticism against him be that he was so uncaring that wasn't there when she died whereas her family was?
The poor guy is damned no matter what he does. Your hatred is unwarranted.
Furthermore, how can you, or anyone else, know the exact moment of Terri's death? Every assumption before the fact was wrong. She could've also died during the time her family was present.
What about before that time, in all the weeks and months before the feeding tube was removed?
I find it disgusting so-called "Christians" don't have the decency to apologize when they were clearly in the wrong. Michael did NOT beat her or strangle her or tried to murder her or abuse her in ANY way. Terri was BLIND - there was NO way for her eyes to transmit data to her visual cortex, her brain weighed less than a grapefruit and suffered massive neural death, making it IMPOSSIBLE for ANY cognitive ability whatsoever. She could not swallow, communicate or recognize anyone, open eyes or grunting notwithstanding. It was impossible to keep her alive without ARTIFICIALLY using a feeding tube.
Now, the goalposts are moved to Michael's actions during Terri's death and post-death.
Some people are just bigots and act in a shameful way, to Christ's everlasting shame.
What would Jesus do?
I believe Jesus would never deny a severely disabled woman food and water.
I believe Jesus would respect and value all human life - that he would see the beauty and inherent God-given worth of all chidren of God, no matter how a society might devalue that life or judge that life according to worldly standards.
I believe Jesus would be especially loving, compassionate and caring to those who are the most vulnerable, the most helpless among us - to the throw-away people whom society no longer consider worthy of life.
I believe Jesus would allow God to call His special children home at the time of His choosing.
That's just my opinion of what I think Jesus might do.
Kill Terri Schiavo, I expect. Probably lop her head off with a chain saw. (I'm sure that was what you wanted to hear, wasn't it, Michael?)
