Sounds like a naif to me. It never occurs to the writer that it is illegal as well as morally obnoxious to kill a conscious person, even in Florida. The law specifies that the person to be killed must be irreversibly comatose, utterly unaware, and may feel no pain. Gibbs made the case that Terri was responsive and "in there." It was murder to kill her, and murder by the most cruel and inhumane means imaginable.

The writer also complains that David Gibbs seems to demonize Michael, when if Gibb's description of his interaction with Terri is even remotely truthful that would imply that Michael Schiavo et al. knowingly subjected a concious person to a death so horrible as to make burning at the stake seem pleasant by comparison.

If David Gibbs' statements about Terri are accurate, how could he possibly not regard Michael Schiavo et al. as evil?
