What I'm trying to figure out is why Terry Schiavo is so important to the future of America that the President, Senate, and House all have to involve themselves in prolonging her life? Is she going to give birth to John Conner?

Judgment Day is coming...


Actually, with our President, that may have been a thought that crossed his mind .

ugh, now I have the image of having sex with her in that state. And that sound she makes.

Is this poor woman going to have a shred of dignity left when this is over?

[Drake Tungsten]

She's PVS, so apparently she hasn't had any dignity in a long time...

[Imran Siddiqui]

From what I've heard (and from FOX News, no less), a greater than normal portion of her cranium is full of spinal fluid rather than brain tissue due to her illness. Like Drake said, dignity has been gone for a while.

I will say for me the only problem I have with this is that you are now putting power in the hands of people that may not have the best interst in mind of the person who is in a positon such as this women.

This woman has no interests. I hesitate to even use the term woman to describe it. It's simply a sack of meat. There is no Terry Schiavo. Terry Schiavo ceased to exist fifteen years ago. It's just the corpse is still alive.

I.e My husband some how hurts me and puts me in terrys condition, he only wants me out of the way. Pulling the plug is in his best interest not mine.

Not if he gets caught. Then it's in his best interest to keep you alive for as long as possible, so he can avoid a murder charge.

I wasn't serious though...

But you were correct.

[Drake Tungsten]

From an amoral standpoint, yes.

But how can he get caught. I cant speak right. I cant point the finger and god knows if there is no proof he wont get caught. But he still needs me out of the way in case I do recover and help send him to jail.

No, from a moral standpoint as well. Brain dead people do not have human dignity anymore. As much as dead corpses do.

[Drake Tungsten]

She's not brain dead. If she was, they wouldn't be using a vague standard like "persistant vegetative state" to justify euthanizing her. She has severe brain damage, which is apparently enough to strip you of all human dignity these days...
