Tomorrow Terri Schiavo’s Murder Begins
The darkness is now descending on a human life deemed too worthless to live. At 1:00 PM Michael Schiavo will begin starving the woman he once committed his life to in sickness and in health - apparently he’s decided her mysterious sickness isn’t included.
What really bothers me about this is that Terri’s parents have been trying for years to get Michael to simply give Terri to them. No strings attached. No commitment from Michael. But he is determined to kill his wife for an inexplicable reason. The courts have basically determined that Michael has the ability to starve his wife to death, because she is physically disabled. This is similar to the court decision that allowed the murder of unborn babies, since we aren’t actually human (apparently) until we are born.
I think these two issues, abortion and euthanasia, are inextricably tied together in an unholy net that defined what the Pope means when he says, “Culture of Death.” Our culture misunderstands the basic philosophical argument that Life is valuable in itself. Without this understanding our children, our elders, and those weak or disabled among us are in a very real danger. I recommend everyone look into the Netherlands where doctors can now kill sick children without their parents permission. Do you think it can’t happen here? Take another look at the Terri Schiavo case.
And pray for her. Stop right now and pray, God knows she needs it.
God bless,
Jay

I have the perfect solution to the Terri Schiavo dilema. Let her switch places with John Evander Couey! Then she could be given food, water, a bed, recreation, a TV and free medical attention for the rest of her natural life. He, on the other hand, could be confined to a bed in a window-less room and denied food and water until he dehydrates and starves to death. After all, he was on a "suicide watch". Are they not denying him his "right to die" but not letting him kill himself? Seems a shame to have to have a guard check on Couey every 15 minutes. I say give him a gun and tell him they'll be back in 15....At least he will have a choice, Terri doesn't!

Posted by: charlene clark at March 24, 2005 03:09 PMI wish your moral indignation would enable you to realize that Bush signed the "The Texas Futile Care Law" in Texas that causes the feeding tubes of innocent ill people to be pulled regularly. Right to life groups supported this legislation at the time. Smells like hypocrisy. Worse, Bush's law doesn't even require the consent of anyone to pull the plug. All it requires is that the patient can't pay the bills on their feeding tube. That's why Bush's grandstanding over Schiavo is such a joke.
