Those people trying to keep Schiavo alive should strap themselves to a bed
... for 24 hours and see what it's like. Have they ever thought that they may be torturing her by holding her in a condition she doesn't want to be in? Those people need to try being immobilized for 24 hours nonstop to see what she's actually going through. It's a form of imprisonment and they are only prolonging her imprisonment. Are they doing this for Terri Schiavo's sake or for their own sake?
I have been there and done that. And I have a daughter with Rett Syndrome who is bed/wheelchair bound. I do not want this to become a habit of letting people die this way. My daughter was starved for 5 days at camp. Almost died. It was considered no big deal because of the quality of life. I am getting really upset with both sides here.
But does she have a flat EEG? That's the case iwth Ms. Schiavo - she doesn't have a higher brain, which is what makes us human. If your daughter still has awareness, there is no reason to remove life support.
She doesn't know who she is, where she is, she can't form a thought in her head, because the place where people form thoughts and have awareness is gone in her.
