I've noticed that most posters who support the killing of Terri don't have the balls to express their actual feelings about the case on Free Republic.

With all deference to AC/DC, I've got the biggest balls of them all. I don't mind telling you what I think by any means.

I wish, sincerely wish, that Michael Schiavo would have considered getting his wife the treatment and care that she deserved. Michael Schiavo is a complete jerk for treating his wife with such inhumanity. There will be special corner in Hell reserved especially for him.

That being said, I don't understand what the legal question is here. God bless Mr. and Mrs. Schindler for trying to do what is right for their daughter. However, Terri is a married adult. I was under the impression that the spouse has the power of attorney unless they are incapacitated themselves or go through legal proceedings to allow for someone else to have it. From what I understand, that has not happened. So how is it that the Schindlers have any legal standing in this matter?

Whether moral or not, I don't understand what the legal question is and why this has drug on for 15 years.

Additionally, starvation has got to be a horrible way to die. I wish, if the courts have stated that Michael Schiavo has the right to order her taken off life support (and yes, a feeding tube is a type of life support) and death is a foregone conclusion, that it could happen by some means that was quicker and less painful.

Additionally, many on FR don't want to take the attacks and flaming that I am sure to get over this post by disagreeing. You may not be one of these, but there are MANY FReepers that are so dedicated to their cause (and, I do admire that dedication!) that they will attack anyone who even has a hint or tinge of disagreement with them on any one small point. Some of these folks are rabid.

And, I stick by my original statement, how did that old fat woman get by the guards?
