The discussion is about her quality of life, and who should have the right to end it.
I am of the belief that no one has the right to arbitrarily end a life, no matter what the relationship to that person is.........unless the will of the person is in writing. Therefore, I do not believe that Michael Schiavo had the right to ask for the end of Terri's life.
I need to leave now, but you and I are of one accord on most things, and what we all need to do is pray for this nation, that it will not go down a path that cavalierly ends the lives of the handicapped, or damaged because they cause inconvenience or expense.
I know you don't, and regardless of what our views are on this particular case, we are in agreement about that.
Pray for this nation, and the President who seeks to guide it back to being a culture of Life.
I join you in prayer, Ohio.
If it were within my power to MAKE every single cognizent citizen put their wishes in writing, I would certainly do that.
But that won't ever happen. We can't even make people on this thread remain civil to each other.
And so then people will lapse into comas, PVS states, irreversible strokes, etc., and decisions have to be made. And I want them made by the families, not judges.
And decisions to end those lives are not made just because it's inconvenient and only when doctors tell families there is no hope.
