Terry Schiavo

Everyone is talking about Terry Schiavo, the poor woman who is, and has been for fifteen years, a vegetable 'living' in Florida. I think its been her thirteenth day without food or water, and I just hope it is over soon. This woman cannot FEEL a thing. She is as good as brain dead. Christians and other nuts have been fannying around outside her hospital for days and days, some were talking about rushing in and actually reeinserting her tube themselves, cause yeah, thats what we want, people who take their cues from the BIBLE deciding who suffers and who doesnt. These are the people that cheer and rejoice at executions for people who, many times, do not get the chance for a fair trial. These are the people that were FOR the execution of minors that was thankfully, eventually outlawed by the supreme court.

Terry aint gonna get any better. the Christian nuts actually believe there will be a miracle to save this woman. To me, religion has NOTHING to do with medical science, and medical science is saying that she will not get better. I can sympathise with the family of Terry, they have lost their daughter. they have LOST their daughter. it must be hard seeing her in this state for so long, without any hope, and when people have no hope, they turn to these crazy ideas that the church pumps out. Grieving for a lost one is hard, but the way to grieve does not include shoving her tube back in and out of her every five minutes. Her husband is her next of kin, and fifteen years ago, when this chemical imbalance tragically caused her to become a vegetable, he should have told them, and made damn sure she was aloud to die in peace! It should not be the right of the courts, or the right of Jeb Bush to decide who lives and dies. I was really shocked, along with a few educated Republicans, that Congress and bush had decided to stick their already blood soaked fingers into this. I know Irony doesnt go down well in the US, but for cryin out loud! Republicans taking up this case in Congress? The hill is for national issues, federal concerns! and I hate to think of what any man who put his name to that Constitution would think about this, that the federal government had the right to intervene so specificaly, on the right to die in peace of this one woman. I would think that haveing your food and water removed and put back in at the whim if a politician would constitute cruel and unusual punnishment.

Christians and other so called 'right-to-live' people (there the ones who support the death penalty for adulterers) claim that liberal-minded people just jump up and shout about letting her die, that they actually want to kill her. They blame and piss on science or medicine at any available time, yet the only thing keeping this woman alive is medical science that can artificially prolong the life of someone who should be dead. Terry is already dead, in that she has no life. and Christians want to prolong this suffering of a woman who is dead. leave them to rest in peace. If this world is so bad and evil, why do they want to keep her alive. Leave Terry to die in dignity, and Christians, go back to shouting down Gays and Feminists, we are smart enough to know when you talk shite, but leave this poor woman and her husband alone, and let the, and all of us, get on with our lives.
