Sorry, this statement is false.
Terri Schiavo was sentenced to death and executed in the course of 14 days (Probable the longest execution in human history) by our the governement of The United States.
Do we say about convicted murderers who were executed that they "passed away"?
We say, sentence carried out! Just like for Terri. Sentence carried out.
Judge Greer issued a execution order for Terri Schiavo and so she was murdered slowly and cruelly. It took a long time for her to die because she was healthy. She was murdered by Judicial Order/State Order and we watched from a distance.
We must not let Terri's cruel death be in vain, we need to be politically active and change the laws to protect healthy people from being starved to death.
