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.

What you just said made no sense whats so ever. She had a heart attack which killed most of her brain. And then there was malpractice involved, thats why the parents are pissed they didnt get any of the money HE used to KEEP HER ALIVE.
Suddenly in a vegetative state for 15yrs? That makes no sense. She was suddently in a vegetative state, but not suddently dead! They arent going to say the next day oh its on her license and pull the plug. Theres absolutely NO REASON TO HAVE IT ON YOUR LICENSE. Your comparing apples and oranges and its basically an invalid argument. Organ donors have it on their license because it is necessary to get the organs out, and to the recipient as soon as possible, they do not have time to wait around for legal documentation. They gotta do it ASAP. This is not the case if you want to be taken off life support, theres absolutely no need for people to know to take you off life support ASAP. Why? Because theyre going to try every option possible before they pull the plug. This can take along time, say FIFTEEN YEARS. Also, nobody is talking about YOU. THis isnt about YOU. So stating what you want is completely irrelevant. Me being a father, is irrelevant because they are married, she married into HIS family. Her last name is Shiavo, not Shindler. So she will be buried in the Shiavo family plot. -------------------- |
