Human life is sacred. Its not dependent on whether one is ambulatory or able to express their thoughts. There is a divine spark within us independent of the reality of our physical state of being. It is a crime to murder a human being. Its a moral offense to with hold food and water from a person. We don't treat animals that way. Terri Schiavo and people like her deserve better. We believe the right to life is a universal principle, valid in all times, places and circumstances. God may withdraw one's breath but man is absolutely forbidden, no matter the justification, to put an end to the life of an innocent person.

BUMP

It sounds as if the Kansas City Star is desperate to kill Terri. What a load of leftist cr*p.

[floriduh voter]

freedom! Mel Gibson supports Terri's Rights as an American citizen, including her right to have nutrition and hydration.

THE ALTERNATIVE IS MURDER BY JUDGE.

[Darnright]

>Like the Schindlers, many of the same sites demonize Michael Schiavo, noting he now lives with another woman and never mentioned his wife's end-of-life wishes until he won more than $1 million in a malpractice suit filed on his wife's behalf.<

Boo hoo. The bloggers are mean! They aren't fair! Well, they are simply reporting the truth, and some of them think Michael is committing adultery.

>They, too, have seen the video images, which first appeared on the Schindlers' Web site, of Terri Schiavo seemingly tracing a balloon with her eyes, or smiling at her mother's kiss. She looks very much aware and responsive.

Yet, the courts have ruled that she cannot respond.<

In other words, what's the matter with you people? The courts have ruled she cannot respond. What's that you say, you saw those videos? So what, the courts have spoken!

"STOP IT, TERRI! The court says that's not allowed!"

Don't you understand, it's the "gift of death"! < /sarcasm >

Is this an opinion piece? One hardly knows where to start.

more than 107,000 petitions urging him to take immediate action to stop her "forced starvation."

Why is "forced starvation" in quotes? Isn't that exactly what those who want her dead are planning?

. Like the Schindlers, many of the same sites demonize Michael Schiavo, noting he now lives with another woman and never mentioned his wife's end-of-life wishes until he won more than $1 million in a malpractice suit filed on his wife's behalf.

How does telling incontrovertible facts "demonize" Michael Schiavo?

[Louis Foxwell]

Witholding food and water from a dehydrated and starving person is a criminal act. There is a higher standard of morality than the musings of a judge.
This case, like so many others, proves that we can not allow ourselves to be ruled by a judicial class. This is not representative government. It is tyranny.

[sport]

To the evil,and degenerate,telling the truth about them is always "demonizing."

[floriduh voter]

Yes, it is judicial tyranny. If euthanasia was up for a vote in Florida, IT WOULD LOSE. So, they are trying to sneak it in through innocents like Terri and through JUDGES WHO GAVE UP ON GOOD JUDGMENT A LONG TIME AGO. Greer was judge shopped to murder Terri. He was a zoning commissioner before he became a guardianship judge. HAD NO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER IN GUARDIANSHIPS. He has no moral compass or compassion either. HE HAS A BLOOD LUST AND IT WON'T END UNTIL SOMEONE HAS THE COURAGE TO REMOVE HIM FROM THE BENCH. guardianship judges are supposed to protect all the wards in the county, NOT KILL THEM.

[floriduh voter]

luv the sarcasm. stop it Terri. the judge who refuses to see you says you aren't living. if you keep living and doing such a great job of it, HIS ORDER JUST WON'T BE CORRECT and that would hurt his legacy. Terri, quit being so responsive and charming. It's hurting Judge Greer's legacy.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!

[pollywog]

I wonder what chance there would be to get Mel Gibson to show up at the Hospice on Friday?? That would surely draw a LOT of support from locals.Just wishful thinking here..

[DJ MacWoW]

Golly. The story left out that Joe Cruzan became depressed and committed suicide.

I have a colleague, Lars Peter, who winded up totally paralyzed in the hospital 25 years ago, and for several months he was hooked up to all the hospital gears, respirator, monitors etc. (you just name them) just to keep him on life support, but, BUT, with NO hope of long term survival from the medical profession at all!

One day a nurse noticed a certain unusual slight movements in his left eye lid, and told Lars’ wife about it, who later then came to think that maybe he was trying to get attention by using the eye lid as a Morse Key being a Radio Officer, a Morse specialist in the Merchant Marine. Fortunately they were able to gather a team from the Coast Guard who were specializing in Morse Codes and low and behold, Lars was actually sending Morse signals with his eye lid. By being able to establish some kind of communication with the outside world, the doctors were able give him the right treatment and to stabilize him, and after a few month of rehabilitation and treatment he was able to go home. He quit his seagoing life and opened a successful carpenter business together with his American wife in Red Bluff, California.

Never forget where there is breath, there is life and there is hope. And that hope is what Michael Schiavo wants to quence in order to get into Terri’s “pocket” book, silence the possibility of maybe being the major cause of her health status. Not only that, his attorney is an activist for killing innocent people in the U.S. on the same level what Hitler did to the Jews. In other words: NO respect for human life.
