I always think of Terri Schiavo whenever I see articles like this.

I think Malesherbes said it the best.

For me the Terri Schiavo case was the acid test of whether we were a civilized nation. We failed the test.

I mentioned your comment in my first post. I think it was profound and well said.

I think of Karen Quinlin

Doctors told the Preston family that when he was taken off life support in November 2006, he would die.

He didn't.


Once again, God is large and in charge.

“For me the Terri Schiavo case was the acid test of whether we were a civilized nation. We failed the test.”

True, and yet let us remember, many tried to save her. The powers that be ultimately failed, but many many Americans, some in high position, did their utmost.

God Bless this man and his family. It certainly is a gracious surprise.

Having sincerely said the above....this really does remind me of a Monty Python skit.

The article said — “he family was then told Mr Marinovic was in a vegetative state and would never recover.”

Yep, doctors, administrators, hospitals and lawyers all want to “finish them off” in a hurry. It’s sure a “culture of death” these days...

I think of those who are still in a coma, and how this holds out hope for them!
