C-span callers are talking about their personal perspective. They are talking about elderly people which doesn't matter except that we know that Terri was only 42. Terri was not terminal and was alert and aware.

Terri Schindler Schiavo's name is not going away, no matter how many left wing nuts want it to. "... disability issues, not terminality issues that are making Oregonians want to die. Our culture has not learned enough about living with disabilities that are severe... for those few that cannot deal with that approach no matter what support that they get and they want suicide, do not set up an expectation that one of the options people can choose is to have the doctor give them the means to kill themselves. Don't take everybody's health care system with you." Diane Coleman, President, www.notdeadyet.org.

FV says the euthanazi org has "compassion" in their title.

Kill yourself or someone else and you are killing God. We are in the image of God. (that's what the Franciscan order in Minnesota said at Terri's last celebration of life in December of 2004. Terri had a life expectancy in the sixties or seventies. She was snuffed out at 42 years of age.
