Terry Schiavo, Finally died Options

[CheesyLobster]

Well, Terry Schiavo passed away after 13 days without a feeding tube. Personally, I think that its not the roll of the government to make these sort of decissions and that they should be left to the families. I also think that this has gotten a lot more coverage than it should have. I'm glad that the system actaully worked though and she was allowed to pass away after all that suffering.

IDK but I dont exactly call that alive. She was breathing yes, but guess what, after your marry someone, you get buried with him, not your parents. Just because of thsi situation doesnt change the fact that she is his wife. She very well could have said oh I want to be cremated and oh I'd never want to be alive if that ever happened to me.

He also does not have a new wife, IDK bout girl friend but that maybe likely considering this happened FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.

Theres no need for it on your license. Organ donors have it their because most organ donors die suddenly and theres is very little time to keep an organ ok for transplant. You can write a living will, which states the conditions in which you want to be kept alive or not. Considering that he is her husband, and there is no living will, I think HE would know what SHE wanted the best. People dont understand, that this happend in 1990. If there was going to be any rehabilitation it would have already happened.

BTW: The autopsy was requested by her husband, to quell the BS that goes around that she could have been rehabilitated.
