I almost spit on my TV - O'R "but the courts said..." "I wouldn't want to live like that...."
cut Father off several times - no surprise
O'Reilly has shown his true colors. When he comes on the tv or radio, I can not get to the knob to switch his 'spin' off fast enough.
What disgusts me most about those who say, "she's better off dead" or "I wouldn't want to live like that" is that these people think they're being merciful, when in fact, they are merely dehumanizing another human being. It's easier to say "kill them" if one doesn't view another as equal, as human.
Nobody wants to live with disabilities, but we take what we can get. Being disabled doesn't make a person any less human than another, especially in God's eyes.
Another ridiculous argument by those who wanted Terri dead is the "death with dignity" argument. They claimed that Terri was brain dead and that she was nothing but an empty shell. How can anyone argue about a person's dignity when they don't believe there is any person there? The truth appears to be that they don't see a disabled person as useful, and thus should be put to death. That's the real basis behind all those statements, Terri wasn't useful to some people and not worthy of life to them.
