You are alluding to euthanasia. The Terri Schiavo case was not about euthanasia. And therein was the problem.
The posters on these threads really wanted to support Terri, but had no legal basis -- strictly an emotional one. They needed to make this a case of euthanasia. Therefore, they resorted to lies, distortions, innuendo, rumor, gossip, conspiracies, name-calling (of those involved and of FReepers), and propaganda. The level of ignorance of those supporting Terri was astounding for a Free Republic forum, which added to the frustration.
As an example, let's simply take the latest claim by hocndoc. He says that Judge Greer murdered Terri (and is calling for his prosecution) because he would not allow oral hydration and nutrition after the feeding tube was removed. But, hocndoc refuses to admit that it would not have helped since Terri has dysphagia and couldn't swallow. At best, it would have been a humanitarian gesture only.
Where's the logic? Where's the sanity? Can you blame people for getting just a little frustrated at ignorant comments like these?
