Has the Schiavo case Become a Political Football?

Now she can. And she will. And to hell with the rest of them.

RIP Terri Schiavo.

I apologize for what we made you into. Sad

I'm very emotional this morning for some reason, this has me all sad...

She is resting in peace. But it is not wrong to allow those last 15 years of her life to have meaning and significance. And if she can be used to illustrate the need for laws to prevent anybody from ever being sentenced to die via starvation and hydration, I think she might be pleased.

Rest in peace Terri.

So, not to be cold about her passing but I thought that what the 11th Circuit had to say in their final opinion is worth discussing.

Quote:

'Despite sincere and altruistic motivation, the legislative and executive branches of our government have acted in a manor demonstrably at odds with our Founding Fathers' blueprint for a governance of a free people," he wrote.

Fox,

I started a thread here for talking about the courts and posted some of what we already said in this thread.

Didn't the state of Oregon pass a euthanasia legislation, but the federal courts denied them that right? It's rather vague in my mind now, because it's been several years ago.

Ditto.

May God bless her parents, friends, and siblings - and hlep them to handle their grief. It is surely a huge loss for them.

Ashcroft tried to overturn the policy in Oregon, yes. I don't think he succeeded, but perhaps a poster from the Beaver State can clarify this...

"rest in peace" what a trite and banal euphemism, the lady is dead not resting.

We all have to deal with our fear of death. That is universal.

Indeed, the lady is dead. May her soul find peace and rest.

How ironic that as soon as the families attorneys stated no more appeals and "gave up", so did Terri.

She was one tough "cookie". RIP.

To think she was in that "state" for fifteen years; and the Shindler's were trying to reverse it after all that time.

This epitomizes the attitude of Terry Savage and the other fanatics. If it's for their of idea of what is a greater good, never mind the victim's wishes and never mind the word of her husband.

"Might" is the correct choice of words. What an ordeal to go through just because she might have been pleased. Who here would be pleased if we could see the kind of spectacle being made of any of us that was made of Terri? Can you image anyone wanting to put their loved ones through this kind of ordeal? I very much doubt she would have been pleased.

Hopefully now her family can grieve and move on. Life is for the living.

I very much doubt she is pleased with how her "husband" (in the legal sense) treated her parents.

I doubt very much she is pleased or displeased. She is beyond earthly cares now. Dead ya know.
