These Jesus freaks and politicians refuse to realize that.
1. Her brains are mush.
2. She’s never going to have a life.
3. People stop eating days before they die.

15 years in a persistant vegatative state is not life. Having no capacity for thought, she has lost her humanity and become little more then another political issue that Bush and the federal courts should stay out of, but stick their greasy fingers into anyway.
People seem to be poiting the finger at Michael Schiavo, blaming him for continuing his life while his wife rots in a hospital. The fact of the matter is that Michael Schiavo has power of attorney under the law, something all the conservative, pro-life morons in the world dont seem to realize. What that means is that he DOES have every right to decide what to do with his wife. The man still has a life to live and is fully entitled to the insurance on his wife, which is why her parents are trying so hard to get him to divorce her. Once that is done, he loses any rights he would have had to the money, which would then go to the parents. It is because of the greed of the parents that this issue has gone on so long. Why else would they want to keep a vegetable alive for 15 years, especially after every doctor to walk into the room has told them that she has virtually no brain activity and no chance for recovery?

Is it HUMANE to starve and dehyrdate a dog to death?
Nope.
Is it HUMANE to starve and dehydrate a human to death?
Nope.
Is it HUMANE to starve and dehydrate a human whose been in a vegetative state for 15 years (only kept "alive" by human means to begin with, thus they are "playing God" by keeping her alive with a feeding tube to begin with) who has lost 40% of her brain function and is completely unaware of her surroundings, only moving due to muscle spasms and unable to feel pain and with no chance of ever recovering to death?
Yep.

a woman who has been in a vegatative state for 15 years. her husband wants to let her go, her parents are trying to cling to any tiny bits of hope they can get.
people need to realise that people also ahve a right to die. In some cases right to die is better then the right to live. would you want to be alive in a vegetative state? not being able to talk or move or think, really? i sure as fuck know i wouldnt.
also, removing her feeding tube is quite humane. after a short time without food and water nerve endings shut down, you dont feel any hunger or thirst pains, or any other pains. if it wasnt humane it would not be an option in letting her die, they would do something else.
if her husband does have power of attorney then he has the right to say to take her off the tube.

and by the way calling people faggots and such is no way to win an argument. next time you wanna post stuff on here ask your mommy or daddy for help, but don't let them see the other things you've wrote you might get grounded from CS. lol

The only reason for unplugging this woman's feeding tube is to make Michael Schiavo feel good.
If you liberals want to make Michael Schiavo feel good then why don't you just go and give him a handjob or something?

Terri Schiavo has been in a coma for 15 years following a heart attack that cut off oxygen to her brain. Her husband, Michael wants her feeding tube removed so he can collect insurance money. Her parents are trying to keep her alive. The federal government is intervening to try and save her since the state courts repeatedly rule to kill her.
What they're doing is murder. She left no written will, so no one knows what she wanted. We have laws that protect animals from being starved and dehydrated to death, but it's OK to do it to a disabled human. What the hell is wrong with people nowadays?
