Response to Bobby Schindler talk...

......................

To the editor:

I would like to thank KU Students For Life for bringing Bobby Schindler to Kansas University last month. For those of you who were not there, I would like to summarize some of what Mr. Schindler said.

First, although Terri Schiavo’s case was very much a pro-life issue, it was also very much a disability rights issue. Media coverage tended to focus on the support given by pro-life groups, but failed to give adequate coverage to the more than 25 local and national disability rights groups that also supported Schiavo’s family in its fight to keep Terri’s feeding tube intact.

Despite all the opposition against them, I believe that Bobby Schindler and his family are sincere in their fight against the euthanasia movement. If a society is judged by how it treats its weakest members, then the United States is failing.

As Mr. Schindler stated at his talk on April 26, the majority of Americans may have believed that it was right to remove Terri’s feeding tube, but 100 percent of Terri’s family did not want her to die. All they wanted was to be given the responsibility of caring for her for the rest of her life when it became obvious that her husband would not.

Micah Shilling,

Lawrence
