Terri Schiavo

When I found out they removed the feeding tubes, I felt sick. Starving someone to death is pure cruelty. We can accept putting our pets to sleep but we would never starve them to death. Either give her a lethal injection or reinsert the tubes. Euthanasia is not allowed, you say. Plugging the plug is euthanasia - it's just done slowly and painfully.

I wonder about her husband's motives. Does he have an insurance check to collect once she dies? It's terrible that the man deciding her fate has lived with another woman for nearly as long as she's been ill, with two children to boot. He should have divorced Terri long ago instead of making a mockery of their marriage.

Perhaps Terri would want to die but we'll never know. If there is nothing written and enough people question whether the patient would want to die, society needs to error on the side of life. Period. End of story.

The one thing I do know is Terri would not want to be starved to death.
