Hi Magnolia! Nope, no bush-beating here, whether it's lack of euphemistic speech or talking down the President. LOL

Really though, loose, subjective justifications as "it's what she wants" or "she asked for it" really get me riled. Can you tell? MS is just looking for a fuzzy-logic "happy fuzzy" justification that will make him sleep better at night next to his mistress after driving home in Terri's Mercedes. I consider it Terri's Mercedes since it's her money to begin with. The whole situation makes me so mad I could spit nails and has since my sister told me about it. Even my brother, an LPN/EMT, who is going to school to be an RN, agrees that starvation is cruel, inhumane, and illegal, and there is no way that she should be considered comatose, braindead, etc. and he's pretty pragmatic about the health system. He said in his opinion there's no way that euthanasia or starvation would be considered justifiable in this case and that if it takes 2 weeks for a person to starve and dehydrate to death, the person wasn't "dead enough to die" like that. The cause on the death certificate certainly couldn't read "natural causes" if a person was killed via starvation. If it's not natural causes, then what is it? Not suicide, since Terri hasn't killed herself, so that leaves homicide.

I hope that Monsieur Sh!%head ends up in prison with some very very slippery soap. He won't die, but it would make him wish he had. But then, the prisoners could say, "He really wanted it" and really, how can he object to that?

I'm glad you love my straight talk! I have plenty of it!

Excellent post. Welcome to FR, Rebelgrrl...you're a real asset.

And finally,the first true characterisation I have heard from the media, Brokaw correctly called Terri a severly brain damaged woman tonight in his coverage!
Not comatose
Not PVS
BRAIN DAMAGED.
The media just might want to "put some ice" on all their previous characterisations of Terri Schiavo.
