Terry Schiavo

"Terri Schiavo suffered heart failure in 1990, when she was 26 years old, lapsing into a persistent vegetative state. For years, Michael Schiavo, her husband, has fought to have the feeding tube keeping his wife alive, removed. He says his wife told him she would not want to live like this. Schiavo's parents want their daughter to remain alive. The battle has involved the courts, and now the Florida Legislature and Gov. Jeb Bush."


What kind of husband wants the feeding tube of even his ex-wife to be removed? Sure, he's engaged to another woman, but what does he have to gain from all this?

And what do you think Jebba the Butt is going to do when it gets to his level?

OMG - I may take back what I said. Is Jeb actually trying to save human life?

Guess it all depends on what you call "life". A permanent vegetative state with no hope of recovery really isn't much of a life.

Kinda like that "mass of tissue" in a woman's body prior to birth, huh?

Actually, I agree with FORD on this one. The right to die is something that should not be politicized. What Congress is doing right now is shameful.

Maybe not to you...

Oops, sorry, can't keep all his personalities straight sometimes.

[Sarge]

She is basically brain dead...

Who the fuck would want to live like that?
I am glad they removed the tube.

[ELVIS]

I don't think she was brain dead...

No, quite the opposite. But I wouldn't expect a defender of terrorists like yourself to know the difference.

[Warham]

Satan, you of all people should be defending terrorists.

But alas, I'm not talking to his Evilness, I'm talking to FORD.

How can someone who works in the medical field ignore the facts of the case. Her doctors say she has no chance of recovery. She's been a vegetable for 15 years. How do you call that "life"?

Look, I'm the Devil. Human suffering, at least in the eternal sense, is my job. But I would never sentence a human being to this kind of fate on earth.

If there is a soul in that empty shell of a body, wouldn't it be better to free that soul from an earthly prison?
