I'm not sure I see any similarities. If Judge Greer did not believe that Terri herself wanted to end her life in this manner, she would still be on feeding tubes. I doubt that Hitler made such a distinction. BTW, others on this thread are making the comparison with the holocaust.
I am Jewish, half of my family was murdered in the Holocaust, and I do not consider this article on the murder of the disabled to be offensive in any way.
The issue is not whether you personally are offended, but how the majority of Americans are interpreting these kinds of comparisons. It would appear that Terri Schiavo's life or death issue cannot stand on its own merits but must be somehow pumped up either with the death of Christ on the cross or with genocide issues. This kind of lunacy merely feeds the MSM's insatiable desire to discredit the right in any way it can.
The Nazis did kill disabled people, and Terri Schiavo is being killed. That is a similarity.
Many do believe this is not what she wanted, and that she is not in the PVS state being used as a predicate to kill her.
I agree that the Holocaust analogy could be misused, but I don't see any harm in people pointing out that the Nazis killed disabled people using justifications that are being offered now. I have read many people here and elsewhere saying that people "shouldn't live like this" which is not much different from saying people "like this shouldn't live".
My problem with this thing is that we don't know for sure what she wanted, we don't know if she is in a PVS, and I'm greatly bothered killing someone under these circumstances.
I do believe we will see more of these type killings and it's a legitimate thing to be concerned abuot.
"This kind of lunacy merely feeds the MSM's insatiable desire to discredit the right in any way it can."
The "right" is not one single constituency, but several sub-sets.
And when a sub-set is thrust into the news, you bet the magnifying glass will be put on them.
