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.

CONGRESS DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE YOUR MEDICAL CARE.

I agree with that. I never said anything about congress getting involved. But if that were my child and I saw that she was reponding to people and the fact that she wasnt dead I would bring it to court. Especially if i saw the slightest motive for my son-in-law to want her dead.

But even that isn't what im talking about. I still dont belive that a feeding tube consitutes life support. It's a necessity. When people are in the hospital after major surgery they get feeding tubes. Its food and water. She was not able to get it on her own, so it was provided for her. Taking away food and water is starvation. At this point i understand why the courts got involved because some people such as myself believe that it's murder to take away a feeding tube from someone who cant eat on their own.

It's just my opinion, everyone is entitled to one.
