A professor and author said Tuesday the Christian reaction to the death of Terri Schiavo was not represented by the media.
M. Therese Lysaught, an associate professor of religious studies at the University of Dayton, presented her view as the 2006 Dr. Edward D. Simmons Lecture on Society and Human Values in the Varsity Theatre.
Lysaught began her lecture by listing the facts of Schiavo's medical and legal cases. In 1990 Schiavo, then 26, collapsed from respiratory and cardiac arrest and suffered severe brain damage. Doctors declared Schiavo to be in a persistent vegetative state, a condition marked by wakefulness without detectable awareness, three years later.
