I am against euthanasia, but it's time to move on. This was one single case that happened to catch the fancy of the media. It isn't a trend. The poor lady is gone, and may she rest in peace. Maybe accepting that what is done is done will help her.
Terri was murdered, and we have not seen justice served. Others continue to be murdered because of their disabilities. Our parents and grandparents thought this issue was resolved when we closed the Nazi death camps. It has not been resolved. The killings continue. I will not accept the extermination of an entire class of people, just because it is happening. The fact that it is happening does not make it right.
Thank you for bumping the thread.
Terri was murdered and the culprits are still free to repeat their crime. Unfortunately, this kind of murder is a trend. The murder of Terri wasn't even euthanasia. No one was putting her out of misery. It was cold-blooded murder, pure and simple (perhaps with the intention of some to further their death culture agenda; but, straight up murder, nonetheless).
Terri wanted to live! However, her public torture has opened many eyes and given many of us a voice in which to remind others of the inherent value of all human life. There are still so many people out there that are quick to judge the value of someone else's life. They think they wouldn't have wanted to live in Terri's condition and thus judge that murdering her was acceptable. They call her a "poor lady" without even understanding the judgement it entails.
We will never forget Terri's brutal murder and unless something is done to prevent the same to others, we will never "move on." What "is done" is not and will never be acceptable. Terri doesn't need our help now; she's gone. But, her memory lives on.
NO way will ANY of us sit by and let this episode of injustice, this MURDER of an innocent non-terminally ill human being who was LOVED, stand. And hopefully, you will be at our side.
No, it IS a trend. Many misguided American citizens cheered when poor Terri took her last breath. Some can't wait to watch another "terminally ill" person (which she was NOT) be put to death.
The poor lady is gone, and may she rest in peace.
Terri was not a poor lady - she was a thirsty and hungry lady who was denied food and water.
Terri isn't resting anywhere - she is with The Lord "absent from the body present with The Lord" - for those that are "HIS".
Maybe accepting that what is done is done will help her.
Help her? She doesn't need anyone's help anymore. Who needs help are those who want to move on, with the mindset of " it didn't affect ME" and "it could never happen to ME". The clueless of the world.
Florida is the Starvation State. Terri was murdered and for her sake in her her memory, I want the world to know it. I don't believe there's a statute of limitations on murder.
