We must remind ourselves that Terri Schiavo is not dying and has never been on life support. This is not a case of "letting her die." Her estranged husband, Michael Schiavo, his lawyers and Judge Greer are publicly conspiring to put her to death by a singularly cruel form of execution.

It's all supposedly "legal" -- if you can stomach dozens of false, prejudiced and one-sided court rulings. But in the moral sense, there is no confusion at all about the case: they are murdering her. Their motives are 1) to steal whatever property of hers they haven't already stolen and 2), many believe, to quickly destroy evidence of the criminal assault that Michael may have committed on Terri in 1990.

I have to admit about 6 months ago I was of the mind come on people just let this poor woman die in piece (Terri Schiavo), but that was based on ignorance to the case. My opinion sorry to admit was based on MSM information. In the last few months of being on FR I have learned more about this case, I now understand what is going on here. The Terri Schiavo case is interesting, pulling life sustaining nourishment from her would be murder.

That said my wife and I both have living wills that state our wishes not to be place on life support machines. Neither of us would have a problem with the enforcement of those desires. If I am brain dead and the only way I can breath is to be hooked up to a machine that does it for me I don't want to be the medical, financial, or emotional burden on my loved ones. However if my wife ended up in state such as Terri's I would have no choice but to keep her alive and would not think of starving her to death.

The really fascinating thing about this is a patient dxed as PVS who "came back". Not coma, but PVS. The exact thing they are saying is irreversible and worth dehydration-death.
