Our continual prayer, Merciful Father, is for that one Judge who will release Terri from the grip of evil ... one so like the Judge in the Gospel of Luke. May he so weary of the woman appearing before him that he will grant justice. Bring forth that Judge, O God ... bring forth that day ... vindicate the love of mother and father and sister and brother ... rescue their beloved and return her to the safety of family, in the Name of Jesus, the Christ, we pray, Amen ...
To me the question is a simple one. If the final appeals take place, and the courts decide that Terri's life can be ended, would Michael Schiavo be prohibited from walking into her room with a machete and chopping her head off to end her life quickly? The answer is likely a definitive yes. That being the case, why on earth should the life of a breathing human being be allowed to be ended in a very cruel fashion over the course of several days? Will those who desire to see her life ended be there every day of her final days of life?
If Terri Schiavo were a cruel murderer and was sentenced to the death penalty, our laws would not allow her life to be ended by starvation. How is it that starvation is too cruel for the worst of society, but somehow good enough for a defenseless innocent? A cruel irony indeed.
