There was no 'good' answer in the Terri Schiavo case, an answer that would please everyone.

Undoubtedly, Terri Schiavo was brain dead, her electroencephlogram had flat-lined. Furthermore, CAT scans had shown severe brain atrophy, indicative of damage that would never repair. But, at the same time, imposing euthanasia is not a really comfortable option.

I might have had some sympathy for the Schindler's in this case. However, I do not have any sympathy for them, now. Why? They chose Randall Terry as a spokeperson. Randall Terry, the fanatic and psychopathic bigot.

Some documented Radall Terry quotes, indicating the degree of his fanatacism:

1. "I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good ... if a Christian voted for Clinton, he sinned against God. It's that simple. Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called by God to conquer this country..."

Randall Terry is calling for a civil war. His call for hatred sounds an awful like Palpatine in the Star Wars Movies, or in the real world, Hitler blaming the Jews for all of Germany's woes.

2. "When I, or people like me, are running the country, you'd better flee, because we will find you, we will try you, and we will execute you. I mean every word of it. I will make it part of my mission to see to it that they are tried and executed... If we're going to have true reformation in America, it is because men once again, if I may use a worn out expression, have righteous testoserone flowing through their veins. They are not afraid of contempt for their contemporaries. They are not even here to get along. They are here to take over..."

Randall Terry is calling for killing everyone he does not like. That sounds an awful lot like 'The Final Solution'.

Randall Terry is truly a dangerous nut case. The fact, the Schindler's would ally themselves with him, discredits their position on the issues.

Randall Terry is a Horse's Ass.

those are indeed sick things to say, that you attribute to Randall Terry. How about citing and linking to the sources, you know, just to back them up.

Beauseant!

How about remove the feeding tube but let the parents try to feed Terri orally? If they succeed, great. If not, too bad.

Is there any way in which that would have wrongfully harmed anyone?

A COMFORTABLE option??? No, I suppose being starved and dehydrated wouldn't be comfortable.

Obviously it was wrong to murder Terri. If you really believed it was right, you wouldn't have to start your post with a proven lie to justify her murder.
