When I first moved to AZ, I was passing out from dehydration. I was hospitalized and hydrated and whatever else was in the drip. It's a real bummer when you have to drink water instead of wine. < /sarcasm >
I was not on the Terri Schiavo threads. I read them sometimes. It was tearing us all apart.
My personal opinion is and has been: If Terri's mother wanted to take care of her in Terri's waning months, she should have been able to do so. She may have died earlier even with her mother's loving care. Not giving her nutrition and hydrating her to me is murder. Nothing more, nothing less.
That is my opinion. And even FReepers in here for whom I care cannot change that opinion.
That's why I've stayed away from these threads.
Absolutely.
But can you understand that those of us who felt that way STILL accept the fact that the laws of the State of Florida allow her guardian to make the decision and we respect that?
