This is my first response to any weblog, but when searching on the internet for information and updates about Terri Schiavo ......I ran across your “chats” and couldn’t help but respond. I was so thrilled to see a majority of you people out there in favor of LIFE. So many of you have “hit the nail on the head” when you said Terri is alive. For she is breathing on her own - thus she is alive. Even before I reviewed the tapes ..... if a person is breathing on their own ...they are alive. How can another “play God” and say when another person who is innocent of any crime should die? One would have to question that person’s motive to end life .......be certain it would be a selfish one.
When I read a response made about Michael already ruining his integrity by committing adultery with another woman and having two children..... I agree, his motives aren’t for Terri. It’s pure selfishness.
I write this with another perspective,too ......my husband and I adopted three babies from different families, each due to either abuse or neglect, have severe brain damage. They neither walk, crawl, speak, or understand verbal cues. They are incontinent and all three are G-tube fed. They are now ages 10, 8, and 8 years of age. You know what? They are the most delightful children you’d ever want to meet! They smile, communicate with their eyes and with sounds. They are loveable, happy and cheerful. Who is to say.......they shouldn’t live because they don’t function like the rest of us? Who is to say their life doesn’t have purpose?
Some people might say because children/people who don’t function normally - they have no purpose, but I say, seeing and being around children/people like these keep some people from becoming so hard-hearted. What if the world had no people with disabilities?...My opinion, I think we’d have a lot of selfish, mean-spirited, hard-hearted, and uncompassionate people with nothing to give to others.....but only thinking of themselves.
Watching the videos of Terri.......is the exact responses of two of my three children I mentioned above. My question to you that believe Terri should die because of her disability is ...would you do that to a child? Terri’s disability has her in a child-like state? Where do you draw the line? How low would you stoop?
