There are many people on this board who claim to be pro-life when it comes to abortion, however, they are now calling for Terri's death. I will not name names, but head over to the smoky backroom and see all those who think Terri should die, then wait for an abortion thread, you will see what I mean.
And yes, you are correct, true pro-lifers want Terri to live.
My theory is that those who agree with putting Terri Shaivo to death are one of two things.
They either feel guilty for having made a similar "let 'em die" type decision in their own situation, or they are projecting what they would do if they are ever faced with such a difficult situation.
By saying it is correct to execute Terri S., they are in effect assuaging their own guilt in advance for possibly wanting to do the same thing.
Letting someone go is never easy, and I certainly do not have all the answers.
The only thing of which I am certain is that the Terri Shaivo situation is NOT anything close to the decision on whether or not to turn off a ventilator or other artificial life support.
