On the subject of Terri Schiavo

[Ironpost]

If it is imperative that she must die why can't they give her a lethal injection not starve the lady to death. How inhuman

[Dookus]

1. Because the same fuck-knobs

who oppose withdrawing the feeding tube also oppose active euthanasia. It's illegal to give her a shot, though it's obviously the right thing to do.

6. But for them it's perfectly OK to administer capital punishment...

in the electric chair, or by lethal injection.


Basically, it's about control.

Neo-cons think they're God, or at least God's agents.

2. she can not feel

can not think
can not hurt
can not reason
can not love
can not hate


ever doctor has said this will be peaceful for her because her brain is full of fluid where the normal cells should be

3. Enough. Not another word on that subject. n/t

9. I agree with you...

I am sick of this topic. But I don't want my/your freedoms taken away. Also look at the AARP having to fight for the benefits we already enjoy. All of our priveleges rights and freedoms are coming under attack from the right. And I will not simply stand by and let it happen.

4. By all accounts

from doctors, nurses, hospice workers, and family members who have made this decisions, this is an extremely peaceful, painless way to go in this kind of situation.

I thought the same thing as you originally, but I've read up on it, and it's not cruel at all.

5. These things are available in open socities like...

Europe. However in this Puritanical society, we don't believe in such freedoms. Funny how the CONservatives talk about getting the government out of peoples lives yet are doing just the opposite.

7. She's not *starving to death* -there was an article in the NYtimes

correcting that notion. It only feeds the right-wing agenda to talk about it that way

8. locking

Assuming that this is not being considered as an option in Mrs. Schiavo's case, post appears to be inflammatory.

Thanks for your consideration.
