The Terri Schiavo thing

[dr.moe]

dude, let her die. it\'s just not cool digging up all this stuff about people and dehumanizing everyone involved. the decision belongs to whom ever the court gives it, and let them deal with their choice. same for mentally, physically, emotinally or otherwise handicapped people. i dont have to agree with their decision, but i will appreciate that it was a decision they made, and were able to make. if i were in her situation? i would have them remove my feeding tube. his? i wouldnt (had i been a total jerk) have spent all that time misleading people by fundraising for her experimental treatment in california or any of that other stuff. i heard about this on some show a few months ago and formed my opinions then.
its kinda like the abortion thing. mebbe they should kinda revers the time limit or something. or compare her functional brain mass to that of an infant or unborn child to make the final decision. that\'s probly the most black hearted thing i\'ve ever written. i hope i didnt offend too many peeps with that one.
i guess the main thing is that i\'ll never know enough to make the proper decision. that\'s probly why the judge granted that dude mike with the decision making \"privilege\" - not that i wouldnt know enough, but that he wouldnt. a decision this gruesome requires more than a logical view, but an emotional view and intimate experience with all the parties involved.
it doesnt matter about mike, or terri\'s parents or what they gain/lose through whatever decision arrives. it comes down to terri\'s living hell or lifeless reality. i almost found and typed a way to compare this to god and junk. man! was that too close.
