SHUT UP!!! and quit trying to blame someone else for all the bad in todays society. I don't see Republican or Democrat in mos tof these posts. But throwing the partisan slur is a weak defense to one's point of view.<br />We have read about putting your wishes in writing, but Terry's condition started many years ago. Before most people realized the need for such horrific legal documents. And I don't believe for one second that her husband has any motive but himself. It is so easy to say she wanted me to pull the plug, and then be done with an unpleasant situation. As one other post stated, there's money at stake here and if there is, if there is any left, guess who would get it? You guessed it, the guy who says whe doesn't want to be sustained by artificial life. But here feeding tube is not artificial. She can not pre-digest her own food, so she is fed a slurry. Should we withhold formula from a newborn because the infant can't pre-digest it's food? By th eway pre-digestion in this case is chewing. The only difference between Terry and an infant in this scenario is the infant can swallow. If terry was provided a bottle fed meal cousl she swallow? I don't know, but I don't think we the masses will ever know anything that the two sides don't want us to know. Otherwise, Mr Schiavo would probably have some significant trouble in his community.<br />I would never want to live as terry is living, but we are supposed to hold life sacred. Withholding an otherwise self-sustaining living creature's nourishment is nothing short of murder. Where is the sacrement in that? But for those of us who believe, we must have faith in 12footer's comment, the judge will be judged, and so too will Mr Schiavo. And I don't think God will judge them favorably. But may God have mercy on Terry.
