Terri Schiavo

[ziggytrix]

I have a warped sense of credibility because I don't just accept every word from the Republican House Majority Leader's pen as gospel truth? That's rich.

As for the relative value of the Church's opinon and Mr. Schiavo's, I call Bullshit. The Catholic Church isn't her legal guardian, he is. We aren't in Rome, we're in America - get over it. Also, the "he said, she said" testimony was a statement of no less than three people in court, which state and now federal courts found no reason to doubt.

I'm really disappointed that you didn't take my bait that Ninjavenom quoted. Seems to me the heart of the controversy here is a fundamental disagreement of whether or not it is humane to end a suffering or wrecked "life". I would think you are old enough that you have witnessed a friend or family member die of a degenerative disease. If that person decided they could not bear any more, would you say "too bad, God wants you live, so we're keeping you plugged into the machines that'd you naturally die without"? The parents have testified in court that EVEN IF Terri had made the wish to not be kept alive like this, they'd do it anyway. Your merciful Church has made that their policy as well. So pardon me for being a "petulant child" when I express my DISGUST for the "holy" verdict of your religious institution.
