"No, it is not euthanasia. I can see circumstances where euthanasia would be a beneficent act. This is murder, pure and simple."
Here's the definition of euthanasia. How does the Schiavo case contradict this?
Main Entry:euthanasia
Function:noun
Etymology:Greek, easy death, from euthanatos, from eu- + thanatos death more at THANATOS
Date:1869
: the act or practice of killing or permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured individuals (as persons or domestic animals) in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy
1. She is not hopelessly on the way to death...the proximate cause of death will be starvation and dehydration.
2. I have strong doubts about the gentleness of an unremitting week or so of a dry cracked mouth in someone who has not flatlined.
Forgot te most important part: Terri Schiavo is not hopelessly sick. She is severely disabled and not on any kind of downhill path.
