We Don't Starve Animals To Death (Rush To Left: How Can You Do This To Terri Alert)

Starvation is humane, right? What a bunch of pure Barbara Streisand. What Rush is saying to the Left is, you don't starve animals to death; you people give them a lethal injection - at least the animal rights wackos demand humane treatment for the beasts. But they evince no such compassion for a human being. See, if they injected her with poison, its murder. The Left wants to kill her slowly so nobody can put the blame on them for the dirty deed. For the Left, its cover your ass time.

Her family is trying to think of how to smuggle ice cubes to Terri. It's really sad. I wish I could think of a good idea for them to sneak water to her. FReegards....

I didn't think they were allowed to visit according to some Freepers.

Are the parents being searched when visiting? If so that
is against the law without just cause.

How about a styrofoam cup w/lid with crushed ice tucked away
in a ladies purse?

Another red herring from her family.

You know, this is all well and good in the fantasy world that liberals usually live in. But I don't live there, and I don't want my children to be burdened with me if I cannot recognize them or Mozart for a stretch of three months. I don't want them to kill me artificially (injection) and I don't want them to sustain me artificially (feeding tubes and/or other medical industry enrichment artifices). I guess I see starvation as more G-dly, or natural if one prefers that euphemism.

Not all choices are easy, and most are pretending this is a slam dunk.

"The Left wants to kill her slowly so nobody can put the blame on them for the dirty deed."

True. It would appear that the husband has committed the perfect murder. I suppose next we'll just take a gun to someone's head and charge the family for the bullet, taking our cue from the other side of the Pacific.

Think she'll last until Thursday? Someone Else died on a Thursday.

Where's a good troop when you need one.

I am feeling very dark about this now.

I think that the, "we don't starve 'x' to death" argument is a red herring.

Bear with me for just a bit:

I heard an interesting conversation about Terri's case at the hospital where I work. It went on for quite a while, but what it essentially boiled down to was: "I'm uncomfortable with the idea of starving the woman to death, but I'm suprised that the medical staff bothers to treat any of her (probably numerous) infections."

The idea being, I suppose, that death by starvation was gruesome and preventable, but death by sepsis was somehow more "natural".

Death, by whatever means, is ugly. The question before us isn't, "Is death terrible/ugly?" but rather, "By allowing this woman to die of neglect, are we doing the moral thing?" As a society, do we want to give our relatives the right to decide whether or not we die? And which of our relatives makes the decision?

Just as the left would never support a war that is in the vital interests of the US, just as the left supports convicted murderers but persecutes the victims of crime, just as the left promotes the evil in this world, but hunts down and kills the innocents...

You know, I heard a tape recording today. Hannity took it seriously. Should I? Or is it part of the Vast Life-Wing Conspiracy?

Thank you for this post, gold state.

Well said! FReegards....

The DEATH BUZZARDS are trying to circle over Terri Schiavo.
They want her dead.

[AMDG&BVMH]

"smuggle ice cubes "

any nurse or attendant in that facility should be doing the same thing, and more . . .

what is a job, IF they were to get caught and fired, if a human life can be saved, and at least made more comfortable, UNTIL the proper remedy is found and put into place.

Rush has no trouble seeing on which side of the street the band is marching on an issue.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Isn't it PETA who's always going after animal trainers, like in the circus business because they will often withhold food and water so the animals won't relieve themselves while onstage or in an arena? THese so called groups will fight for an elephant who's had to wait an extra two hours for food and drink, but not for a human? This world freaking *^*^$(*&%*%&#$%^#!!!!

And once again the great "lovers of the poor" show their true colors. Even Rep. John Lewis, the "hero" of the civil rights movement, was there advocating that this woman be starved to death.

Too bad FDR isn't still alive to add his voice to that of the entire liberal side of the spectrum. But what would William Jennings Bryan say, I wonder?
