Culture of Life Foundation Responds to the Schiavo Autopsy

The following is a statement from Culture of Life Foundation President, Austin Ruse regarding the Schiavo Autopsy:

"The medical examiner of Pinellas County has determined from his autopsy of Terri Schiavo that her condition would never have improved. His conclusion certainly is in dispute, but is beside the central question. The central question then and now is what do we owe our sister?

Terri was severely brain-damaged. All she needed to continue living was food and water. Some, including those she trusted, concluded that these basic life-sustaining necessities should be taken from her.

We should remember that it took Terri two long weeks to die of THIRST. We would not do this to a dog. We owed our sister more than this. We owed Terri much than this. In Terri's case, we abdicated our moral responsibility."
