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.

The parents are selfish assholes. they want the money that she has. I think she should be put to rest. Let her go. Let her husband that has suffered as long as she has to deal with her hospital bills and ect. I think he has that right as her husband to finally be able to make her mind up and let her go. I really don't think it's right to see someone suffer so badly on a feeding tube.

When my grandmother died, she was on a breathing machine, and a feeding tube, basically she was called brain dead. So, my grandfther did the right thing and let her go. She felt no pain.

Terri has no brain function, well as much as her brain will allow to let her breathe in and out. If I was Terri I'd not want people to see me in that kind of state every day. I feel for her more than her parents. Just let the woman die so she can finally rest.

I hate her parents for calling Michael a murderer because he wants to move on with his life.
