All these "religious right" opposed to euthanasia

[Bret Walker]

In regards to the "religious Right" who oppose the euthanasia of Terri Schiavo, a woman who has been in a coma for 15 years and whose husband wants her feeding tube removed so that she may die, and whose parents are opposing her husband's action...If these so-called Christians are really concerned with Terri Schiavo's well being, and if they truly believe in a life everlasting through Christ, then wouldn't you think they'd rather she be allowed to end her suffering and join her maker, in a better place than in the confines of her own body? Apparently not. One of my favorite quotes on this case came this morning on the BBC news; an American living in Paris wrote in an email (and I'm paraphrasing):

"George W. Bush, the former governor of Texas who executed hundreds of death-row inmates, and who has entered us into a war which has killed over 100,000 Iraqi civilians at the latest count, now expects us to believe that he actually values human life?"

Interesting thought. Yours?

I'm all for letting her die. Mainly, because I'm sick of hearing about it. I get goose bumps everytime I see her face, it's not right to shove her down your throat like they do. But I also think that removing her tube is horrible, and they should atleast give her the common courtesy they give dogs and child rapists and give her a swift death. They already took her tube out once, then when she was near death put it back it. That's just cruel, and now to do it again. The husband and her entire family need to be shot.

Yeah I wish there was a quicker way they could let her die than to pull out her feeding tube and let her dehydrate and starve to death. But what kind of quality of life does she have now anyway?

[kerrysucks]

you think Forcing her to starve & thrist to death is stopping her suffering?.

There's no suffering at all. She was a veg, plain and simple. Dead weight. Fuck her.

Considering her autopsy showed she was in a persistent vegetative state, I think a week of no sustenence (which is how long she languished without the feeding tube) is better than another 20 years of being kept alive in the prison of a dead human body. Let the soul go.

And since the autopsy showed that she was completely BLIND, the family's shit about her being responsive is bogus.
