Terry Schiavo

Hay guyz let's have a right-to-die thread.  Discuss the case.

I'll just say I feel she's a right to die.

I dont think that anyone here looked at her husbands motives to remove her feeding tube. I read about a year ago that he went to court to try to get a divorce. The reason, he had another woman waiting on the side.  They said no because the divorce cant be official unless she can make a decision and sign the papers.  She couldnt.  It was then that he started to push for having her feeding tube taken out.  He wanted to get married again so because he couldnt get out of his current marriage, she had to die.  The problem was that she didnt. 

Its also nice to hear that about 3 days before she died he arranged to have an autopsy to prove that she was seriously brain damaged.  She wasnt even dead yet and he aranged to have her cut open and examined.  To top this off, after her death, her parents wanted to give her a proper christian funeral and have her burried.  her husband said no and decided that he wants her cremated. Makes you wander.  Seems to me that hes going to get someone to go and say what he wants them to say then go and burn the body so he cant be proved wrong.

And in the end, it was not right to have her starve to death.  If she were on medication, or breathing tubes, or any of that, it would be different.  But instead she slowly starved to death over a period of several days. For any person, that is not right.
