Terri Schiavo: Please explain something to me...
Why can't they let her live, and let her folks take care of her, and let the husband out from under his marriage to her? Everyone could have their way on this one... why such the long, drawn out drama?? Is there something there I don't understand?

Who will continue her care when the parents are gone?

I can see both sides...all I know is I wouldn't want to live that way. The ONE video they show of Terri was made by her parents. Several doctors have come forward to say the parents were there dozens of times with the balloons trying to get a reaction.......they testified it was purely coincidental that she smiled when the balloons were held up to her...she was NOT reacting to them.
I do agree, starving someone is inhumane but it is done every day in this country and they do say that Terri cannot feel pain like we do and will not feel the starving process. Whether that is true, I do not know but that is what the experts say. The whole case is heartbreaking with no winning answer. Letting her live and allowing her parents to care for her sounds ok in theory but what if that is not what Terri would have wanted? Maybe she would not want to be a burden on her parents or more importantly be artifically sustained when she has no quality of life?

It appears that Congress has opened the door to another avenue for the reinsertion of Terri's feeding tube:

Here's a pretty unbiased overview of this whole situation, if anyone is interested.

I would think that her life would have to be sustained at any cost, since she doesn't have a living will. No one else should be able to make the decision if she should live or die, except for Terri. To think that they are "killing" her by taking away her food and water is very disturbing to me. It would be more humane to give her a lethal injection if she is left to starve to death. God bless the Schiavo family.

At this point, most people take issue with this determination of Terri's will by the court system and whether the appropriate evidence was considered in this determination. My issue is with the fact that they are starving this woman to death. How inhumane is that?
