Cliff Kincaid, editor of the of the AIM Report writes about he "clumsy effort" of the media to convince the public based upon the autopsy that Terri Schiavo wasn't really a human being when she died on March 31. This enabled euthanasia supporters to impugn the Schindler family for wanting to care for Terri because "her life was not worth living."
Julian Tepper, host of the Julian Tepper show on WTNT-AM in Washington, D.C., was quoted as stating, "I think it's hard to avoid the conclusion that the public regarded Terri Schiavi as being something les than a valid human being and the public was aided in that view by the way things were portrayed on television and in the newspapers".
Kincaid replied,
I agree. As I told Julian Tepper on his show, "the essential issue was her individual right to life…The coverage suggested, after the autopsy, that she really wasn't one of us. She was different. She didn't have the same intellect as we do. Only half a brain. And couldn't even feed herself. So it's all right to kill her."Read the rest here. Related: Paving the Way for EuthanasiaThe unborn, human embryos, and disabled people like Terri Schiavo. These are the expendable ones, according to the prevailing media view. I always thought that liberals were supposed to be compassionate. The liberal media are strangely cold and calculating on the matter of who lives and dies. If you don't meet their test of humanity, you're dead. It's frightening. Who's next on the list

Quote from AIM Reports on Terri Schiavo's Autopsy:
"Cliff Kincaid, editor of the of the AIM Report writes about he "clumsy effort" of the media to convince the public based upon the autopsy that Terri Schiavo wasn't really a human being when she died on March 31."
Michael Schiavo also made efforts to convince the public that Terri was not really alive before she succumbed to death by dehydration on March 31, 2005. In fact, he stated publicly that "Terri died 15 years ago." (Quoted from the article, Schiavo: 'Come down, President Bush')
Michael's brother, Steve Schiavo, shared the same sentiment: "Terri died 15 years ago. Terri's been gone. There was nothing there, just a shell -- an empty shell," he continued. (Quoted from "Brothers among those supporting reclusive Michael Schiavo.")
