Bless this thread, may it have a happy update in the title.
Can someone explain to me, what is or was the rush to remove her feeding tube? The evidence was shown to be that there is at least some primitive form of life there. On the testimony of one Michael Schiavo, her husband who abandoned her for a new family and who certainly could be shown to possess ulterior motives, the court determines that she should starve to death?
We live in the greatest, most charitable country in the world, why are we allowing this to happen to a totally helpless woman? Am I missing some tidbit of info. that would possibly make all of this make more sense? Isn't the testimony of her parents, who offer her unconditional love, worth anything, and how could it be outweighed by that of her former husband, who just wants her out of the way?
One more point: Although Terri may have minimal if any cognitive ability, she is technically alive, and I have heard of and in fact seen miracles by G-d where people whose lives were thought to have been over have been returned to health. Isn't there the possibility that thru stimulation and therapy, Terri's condition might improve, if only to the point where being in the presence of those who care for her brings her some sort of primitive pleasure? Can someone please explain what, if anything, I am missing here?
Thank you.
Yes, oh YES LORD!!!!
