Are you stating that a severely disabled person, who has a spinal cord injury, should be killed?

No. Since I have a spinal cord injury, I believe I can speak for what I want. I'm living a very productive life and if I didn't want to be here, I would "end it" myself. All I require is a wheelchair for mobility, and I'm totally independent. In my opinion, Terry was being warehoused.

Please don't include me in your hysterical arguments devoid of reason. I deal with reason and logic, not hysterical emotional fairy tales..that's what liberals do.

If, in your opinion Terri was being warehoused, why did you not speak up and let people know that what was happening was just so very wrong.

Thanks for explaining that you also have a spinal cord injury. It is people like yourself who need to speak up at this point in time, and let people hear about how you deal with life's difficulties.

I do have an injury that has put me into a wheelchair, but I have had an injury that has caused me intermittent pain over a period of years.

I maintain that what MS did to Terri Schiavo was the most reprehensible action. I am not alone with how I feel about this case. There are people on both sides of the political and religious spectrum who feel exactly the same.

If anyone believes that Terri did not feel the pain of her starvation then they are just so very, very wrong.

This morning my sister lost her battle with bone cancer. She was just 52 years old. Do I care? YES. You see her cancer was not discovered until she reached the point of not being able to eat. Over the weeks of her illness she was in such pain and I am glad I was not there to see my sister suffer so much.

I can only imagine how much worse it was for Terri when she was being starved and dehydrated to death. The level of pain of that process must have been really horrendous. To hear George Felos claim that she looked "peaceful" goes beyond what is decent. It is an indication that George needs to be certified and placed in a mental institution because he has an unhealthy preoccupation with death. There is a term for his form of mental illness: necromania.

What you might not know is that George's mother was instrumental in her husband's death. He had cancer. I wonder if his death was ever fully investigated, and why is it that Mrs Felos (snr) did not face charges over the death of her husband.

This case has added up to a lawyer who has the signs of being mentally unstable, plus a husband (Michael Schiavo) who also displays signs of being mentally unstable being given full permission to carry out a state permitted murder in the name of bringing about general euthanasia.

No one had the right to speak for Terri Schiavo. No one had the right to make the false claims about her wishes. As a Catholic, and a faithful one at that, Terri would not have made those comments. I believe that Michael Schiavo is not only a wife abusing murderer, but that he is a pathological liar and a real danger to society.
