Look in a mirror and tell yourself the same thing.
Terri Schiavo is a living human woman who is not dying from a terminal disease.
She needs help eating, and has a food tube inserted.
That is the extent of the current medical intervention allowed her, by her husband.
God knows, if some actual, positive, medical intervention was allowed her, she might not need even that to exsist.
Would you approve lethal injections to kill her if she still managed to stay alive,even then?
She certainly shows an incredible will to live.
I once met a small child with a feeding tube, and his mother, at a hotel swimming pool.He seemed perfectly normal,except for the G-tube.I was not rude enough to ask his mother for details, as it was none of my business.
Had she ripped that G-tube out of the child in front of me, well, that would most assuredly have involved me.
At what age/ability level do you think it appropriate to ignore forcibly removing food and hydration from a helpless human being?

This is the second time Judge Greer has sentenced her to death by starvation and dehydration at the request of her husband, and against the wishes of her family.
If the fact that both the executive and legislative branches of the government of the state of Florida felt a need to pass a special law to save Terri Schiavo from death, six days after the judicial branch allowed the medical community to murder her in public, does not make you pause and re-examine your original premise...duh.
Yup, we is just all dumb, backwards hicks here in Florida.Aint none of us smart enough to know what is happening in the real world!

Sorry about the knee-jerk reaction type of comment I made where I didn't fully read the article. I really don't like Koch and am just sick and tired of hearing him after all these years.
