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.

ok I am going to get flamed for this but whatever. no one here excpet akimbo and me knows how this works. look my grandfather who was my father who rasied me had alseimers and in the end when he was at the hosptial they had to do a test to see whether he could feed himself or not ok. and he fail so you know what me and my family had to do? what we had to go thourgh? my grandmother who has been married with my grandpa for over 65 years said no? I agreed when I was walking down in the hospital and I saw some one with one of those things in them. Do you know how much pain that caused me thinking that my father would have to be like that. NO HELL NO. what this guy did was wrong. it should have been done along time ago. towards the end YES my grandpa could still move and smile and do other things but to have him connected to that thing no way in hell. he was taken to a hospice home give an iv and morphine toi dull the pain and then he went to where he was no longer in pain. I am crying as I write this so don't pity me cause I don't need it cause he would he mad at me if I did so as far as people given what sould have been done unless you even have a clue as to what this situtation is like well it is a free country and I respect all opinions give and I will not flame on anyone cause of the way the feel about this just my .02
