I do not believe animals should be more important than human beings.

I do not believe that people should be force fed when their bodily functions to process food have shut down permanently. I believe that God ordains that process and a feeding tube supplants God's purposes for that person.

Which of Terri Schiavo's bodily functions necessary to process food were shut down?


She swallowed, yet Michael Schiavo and Greer forbade anything by mouth at threat of arrest. Her parents couldn't even put a spoonful of cool water in her mouth. How does that fit in your idea of God's purposes for that person?

Why should your religious beliefs - which are in direct opposition to the Catholic tradition the Schindler and Schiavo families followed - cause Terri Schiavo to starve to death?

Terri's body processed nutriments very well, because she was not dying.
It was barbaric to starve her.

Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses
so our judges can starve them to death.
