I don't get this obsession with a pile of flesh and bones. That's basically what she is now. Let her go. Let her soul move on to better places. How can people who claim to believe in God do this to her?
You need to read up on this. This is an unusual case.
This really is an issue of her husband wanting kill her off, after he spent her insurance money, and is living happily with his girlfriend and not allowing her parents to take her and care for her.
She did NOT leave a living will.
This is really a fight over guardianship and who wants the best for Terri, and with his entire behavior since her sudden illness, her husband demonstrated that he does not have Terri's best interest at heart. He has not been allowing her parents to visit her, was denying her parents access to Terri's medical records and so on.
He should NOT be allowed to just kill her off, which is what this amounts to.

Ambrose, to say this indicates you don't understand the case law "precedents" the would-be killers are trying to set for a larger euthanasia agenda. And THAT agenda is yet in the bigger anti-God, anti-sanctity-of-life agenda of totalitarians. Remove God, remove sanctity of life, consider people and their "God-Given rights" as property of the State and you have....1984. That's what's going on here. Better read Orwell--and Romans, chapter 1.
So Nancy Reagan should have stopped feeding Ronald? I should have stopped feeding my Dad, who had Alzheimer's?
"How can people who claim to believe in God do this to her?"
I'm an atheist, and I'm for Terri.
That's basically what she is now.
That's what a psychopath says about YOU. "Basically a pile of flesh and bones."
Let her go.
She's not going, ambrose. She's not dying.
Let her soul move on to better places. How can people who claim to believe in God do this to her?
Oh, it's you, Felos. Never mind!
A friendly word to the wise. You need to be careful how you refer to Terri. JimRob banned someone for being callous in their description of Terri.
How, pray tell, is STARVING a person to death GODLY???
How can you guys torture us with your ignorance?
I can answer that.
"Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?" (Jesus Christ, the Sermon on The Mount)
I'll never really understand why there are those people out there who would pull Terri Schiavo's feeding tube and give her stones and serpents. Nor do I want to understand; just go away.
Here is why:
24:11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;24:12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
I am appalled at all those who claim starving this woman to death as an act of compassion, who call murder good, and life bad. Show me the capital crime she has committed and then maybe we can justify her murder - and certainly not by dehydration which not even Scott Peterson will suffer.
5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
No. She's not.
You don't know what you're talking about.
How long was your medical examination of her, Doctor?
