A generation ago, the federal government summoned the political will to send federal troops into Mississippi, to integrate schools there, in a direct confrontation with state officials. On this occasion, our government has shown that it lacks the will to save an innocent citizen from a court-approved killing.

Thoughts?

If Terri Schiavo dies, countless thousands of other Americans are instantly imperiled.

The deathists already scored a big victory, with the help of the media. The truth of this case hinges on the veracity of the claim that Terri would wish to die. But it is rarely portrayed as such, for the obvious reason that her alleged wish is clearly a fabrication. Instead, the media encouraged a discussion over Terri's medical condition. Implicit in this is the assumption that if her condition is shown to be bad enough, killing her is OK. We already have entered the dark age when the degree of sickness triggers an obligation to die.

The title of this post is dripping with fear of death. As a Christian, I'm just not afraid of death at all. Sure I'll go on living but I'm certainly not clinging to life like I see in so many people on or about this topic.

Where has all the "outrage" (real or imagined) been for the last 20 years while doctors have been "killing off" all of us handicapped people? Or is it some are just buying into the emotional aspect of this individual case?
