Terri Schiavo died this morning, 13 days after having her feeding tube removed. For those of you not up to date, she has been in a coma for 15 years.
She suffered brain damage after a heart attack in 1990, and has been kept "alive" on machines ever since.
The Supreme Court ordered the plug pulled.
Now the part where I piss people off.
I don't see what the big deal was.
Yes, she was a living human being, and her "life" was terminated.
But if you think about it, was she truly alive?
She was in a complete vegitative state for 15 years.
What kind of a life is that?
Some will argue "What about her loved ones? She was taken from them...blah blah"
I'll let you in on a little secret...
THEY LOST HER 15 YEARS AGO!
The Terri they loved and knew was lost when she suffered brain damage. All that was left was a blank eyed shell.
Keeping her alive wasn't prolonging life...
It was prolonging death. They trapped her soul in her body, and forced it to stay. (For those who believe in souls)
People aren't meant to live forever.
Some argue that by deciding if she lives or dies, the Supreme Court was "playing God."
Did anyone ever stop to think maybe she was supposed to die?
Who are we to play God and keep these people "alive."
It's not the way of nature.
In the jungle, when a lion suffers a critical injury, do other lions hook it up to tubes to feed it and make sure it stays alive?
No, they let it fend for itself.
If it lives, it lives. If it dies, it dies.
It is the way of life. Death allows other beings to be brought to life.

and she wasnt in a P.V.S. because she was responding and could almost say things.. if your in a pre-vegitive state, you dont move, you dont talk.. your a veggie. and she wasnt. the doctors just dubbed her that name, and everyone was too stupid to look around, and see that she wasnt, nor were they doing to question his verdict.
thats what makes me so angry...
its like.. why do i watch the news? cause all it is, is bad things.. nothing ever good.
theres too much press everywhere.. and everyone MUST have an opinion on EVERYTHING.. people who shouldnt get involved, do, and it just makes the peoblem that much worse.
there was no need for her case to be as big as it was.
and yet, i cant help but have my own opinion on what was going on, and i was talking about it just as much as everyone else was...
so the question - do i just not watch the news? so i dont know whats going on? but its nice to know sometimes.... i dont like being a hermit. or do i watch, and make the problem worse?
i just dont know.....
