Terri's pending death isn't in vain. She is a WAKE UP call to those who can still see. I am heart broken for Terri and her family.
When my pets had terminal cancer, I refused to let them starve to death. The point came when they could no longer eat. Then I asked the vet to come over to our house. I held each one and they were over dosed with anesthesia.
They were terminal! They were animals! Terri is neither an animal or terminal. Her crime? Being MISDIAGNOSED and inconvenient to her estranged husband and his new life with two illegitimate children. When the malpractice money came through, the therapy stopped and a tube put in and moved to a hospice for terminal people. Terri had NO business in a hospice. Being brain damaged shouldn't be a crime.
Yeah, I've felt that for a long time. But the issue will have also made many other hearts a bit more cold, a bit more callous, and a little more blind.
Our country no longer follows the path set by our founders who blazed it with divine inspiration. The congress, the senate, and even the presidency ('cept for the liberty vs. tyranny overseas thingy) mouth platitudes about things having less importance than life itself. Starving a woman to death ranks up there with the total disarmement of the populace. How, might you ask?
Her feeding tube is a lifeline no less than is our ability to defend ourselves. Yanking a tube from her stomach is no different than grabbing all guns, the difference being that, I'll refuse to lay comotose when they come. I promise to awaken from the slumber that has lasted many long years. And I'll kick, bite, and grab at anything I can to thwart their advance. Power to the people, dammit! And for those opposed: power to the State. Wear it on your sleeve, or better yet, tattoo it to your foreheads.
"I see Satan behind this with his mouthpiece being the judges.
While we were busy entertaining our selves to death, believing what's right for you isn't right for me, self absorbed, enough self esteem for there people - our courts were being replaced with evil people. NOW we are reaping the result."
I see the evil orchestration being a set up for legalizing euthanasia which will appear more "humane" than starvation.
