I swear to Goddess, if I live to be 100...

I will never understand how some people think. Has anyone been following the Terri Schiavo case?

For those of you that haven't the slightest clue as to what I'm talking about, here's a brief synopsis.

Terri Schiavo has been, and I quote, in a 'persistive vegetative state' for FIFTEEN years, and her poor husband who just wants to move on has been given shit in large doses for wanting to end her suffering. And now there's this big brouhaha over reinserting her feeding tube.

This woman is not going to just to snap out of it. She ain't getting better.

Fifteen years? How is relying on a feeding tube considered 'living?' Where is the fucking 'quality of life' these assholes protest in favor of by taping the word 'LIFE' over their mouths?

Oh, this fucking pisses me off. The staunch Republicans would have us live in the fucking stone age, I swear.

Her parents are, um, well to be kind they're not coping well, and to be unkind they're no longer in touch with reality. They've gone to a lot of trouble to present her as disabled rather than vegetative, including a video on their web site which is something like 3 minutes of edited highlights out of a 4 hour tape. They claim she has the mind of a six month old.

Um, no. She has no cerebral cortex. 0_0 She no longer has enough brain left to swallow on her own.

They actually claim that?

Oh my god.

From I have seen from tv, that woman does not even the capacity of a baby, who brain is growing in leaps andbounds. She looks horribly just like what she is- a person who is a vegetable.

They do. They have a whole web site with carefully edited film footage and hearts and flowers and the color pink.

There's another website that has something they claim is her cat scans. It's just... a big black void.

Disabled? Jesus, that's just sugar-coating it.
