Michael Schiavo sympathizers: What will you do when Terri dies?

Self

I suppose those of you who are siding with Michael Schiavo are feeling smug today.

I have to ask a question that I wanted to ask when little Elian Gonzalez was whisked away to the island gulag. Will you cheer? Will you celebrate?

The reason I ask is that we certainly will celebrate if we win. If Terri is somehow saved from this horror at this the 11th hour, those of us who are fighting for her life will cheer and clap, some of us will cry and many of us will fall to our knees in thanks to Our Lord!

How will you feel if your side wins? What exactly is it that you have won?

No, I'm feeling sad. Terri Schiavo's death is just the better of two possible horrible ends. There never was a posibility of a 'happy' ending.

Say What!?

[batenkaitos]

Sides? Winning? What the heck are you talking about? No one wins in a situation like this. The best thing to come out of this is the fact that people are being much more careful in planning for their futures.

[joyce11111]

This is a clear shpwing of the coarsening of our society.
This is MURDER.

"A Congressional hearing subpoena has been issued for Terri tomorrow."

Can you clarify? What are the details, and what does this mean?

My Russian wife just passed her citizenship exam this month. She stated that in her 49 years she never saw anything this evil in Russia.

Yeah, the gulags, the secret police, etc. were not any worse than allowing one person to be allowed to die.

[johnmilken]

I won't be celebrating and I won't be grieving.

This is a private matter for her family [yes, I do mean her parents and siblings by that].

[gopwinsin04]

The Congressional document for the hearing was issued for March 25.

At least that would get Terri out of Judge Greer's jurisdiction.

[TomasUSMC]

Well the Supremes just rejected the case. Somebody in the Bush family better do something or they are going to pay a political price on 2008.

We did not elect Bush for inaction, nor for action that was to late, nor for action that would not work.

We elected him to take timely action to stop problems before they got out of hand. Terror, Social Security, and yes that little thing called life.

HE WHO HESITATES IS LOST

[queenkathy]

Tell me why they issued it for that far in the future? What is the point? Sorry, I'm confused. I don't need any more false hope.

[the Deejay]

You are absolutely right.

[Cyber Ninja]

What exactly is it that you they have won?

Schadenfreude: Christians weeping. This feeds them.

Well, I can only think of one thing..., I'll be quite happy when FR is free from yet ANOTHER Terri Schiavo related vanity post.

Here here. And DO NOT take choosing a spouse as lightly as most do today. Choosing the person you are going to marry is a serious and life altering decision. Obviously.

I am thankful everyday that I have a wonderful husband who I can trust to make life or death decisions for me and who has my best interest at heart.

Many make look twice at their choice of a life mate.

[AlaninSA]

I've got something to add to this.

Please leave all the tin-foil hat jokes out of responses.

I'm a father, husband and a Catholic. I read the Bible regularly. I go to Adoration each Friday night. Maybe my thoughts on the Shiavo case are influenced by these factors.

Am I the only person who's a bit weirded out by what's happening in Florida?

The timing of this whole event during Holy Week is disturbing. The triumph in Congress on Palm Sunday - the day of Christ's triumphant entry into the City. The judges in our temple of justice mirroring the blood lust of the judges in the temple in Pilate's day.

Are these parallels really there (and frighteningly clear) or am I just drifting too deep into my faith?

[johnmilken]

If they're so concerned about life why does the law only apply to Terri?

You are being played.

[roylene]

You state 'while Teri lay dying'. She is (was) not dying.
Teri is being starved to death, now she is dying.
Husband rights .... huh!
What is happening here is a young woman who is inconvenient to her husband(?) is being starved to death.
I sure hope Steven Hawking's wife wife doesn't get ideas.

[television is just wrong]

It is cruel in my estimation too.

[MamaLucci]

I should have known......thanks.
I can't believe it, but can't help feeling that we
are all witnessing a slow motion murder.

I just heard from Glenn Beck that the husband went to the judge and requested that she be able to be cremated with no autopsy and the judge of course granted the request last week. So it appears there won't be unless something else happens.
