What is going to happen, mark my words, is that after 30 days of horrific tales of the suffering of Terri Schiavo, a "model law" will be introduced to provide for lethal injection on demand, so that no one has to "suffer like Terri".

That is my instinct too. So many are finding solace in the hope that "good will come of this tragedy" and I'm (deathly) afraid that the opposite will bear out.

I agree. There is something so sinister that is driving the mania on Michael Schaivo's side, to make SURE that Terri dies, and that they WIN.

You have identified the reason for which this adamant stance on the part of Schaivo, Felos and Greer - triumvirate of evil - is so sinister. They want to establish a predecent, from which they can then "refine" all future state-ordered euthanasia projects.

...and make no mistake about it. They will quickly invent reasons for why the Republican leadership caused Terri's "painful" and "tragic" death. Then, building upon that lie, they will argue that it could all have been avoided, had there only been "humane legislation" requiring a painless, lethal injection so that poor Terri, Michael's treasured, cherished ward, could have died "peacefully."

That's what is coming.........to a hospital or hospice near you........and soon. It's all part of a strategy. Perhaps they'll call it "The Kevorkian Principle."

The truly disturbing thing about Terri's case, I think, is that no one believes she should have been placed in this position to begin with. The unspoken truth here -- the elephant in the room -- is that most of us who are pleading her cause really do believe that Michael Shiavo attempted to kill her on that long-ago night in 1990, and that, if permitted to pull her tube now, he will finally succeed in carrying out his devilish deed. That is the real reason why emotions runs so high in this extraordinary case. Read Tony Siriano's remarks about this here:

He makes a strong case for keeping Terri alive. It is hard to argue with his logic and rigorous intellect.

And FYI: Michael Schaivo does NOT have a living will. Isn't that odd?
