The Terry Schiavo case

[PornoDoggy]

JR - you keep saying that Schiavo's husband wants to kill her. I don't think that's the case. I think he wants to let her go. I think he feels that what killed her is the illness that put her there 16 years, six judges, and god alone knows how many lawyers ago.

Now, you can repeat verbatim the attacks on his character that the supporters of her family have because he has not chosen the martyr route that they have. Maybe he is an asshole and their shit don't stink - but I personally am not going to judge the man. It's just not as simple as you want to make it.

I can understand the parent's need to cling onto hope. God forbid that I should ever have to make such a decision about my daughters - making the decision to terminate life support for my mother was hard enough, and she was far worse off than the family claims Terry Schiavo is.

All that being said - the Congress of the United States had no business being involved in this tragic situation.
