Blogger's Best for Terri Schiavo

| 4 Comments

In preparation for the Terri Schiavo Blogburst, Dory from Wittenberg Gate writes with insight about the anniversary of Terri Schiavo’s death:

This Saturday, March 18th, is the anniversary of the day Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed. She died thirteen days later, on March 31st. The public airing of Terri's situation caused us to consider and debate profound issues of life and death. We asked important questions. What is life? What makes it precious? What makes life, "worth living"? What is the difference between medical intervention and ordinary care, and when, if ever, can they ethically be withdrawn? When, if ever, should the dying be treated differently than the profoundly disabled? At our best, we discussed these things on our blogs thoughtfully and graciously, in spite of the emotionally-charged atmosphere. At our worst, we angrily hurled insults and attacks at the "other side".
Remembering Terri and her death is important because it reminds us, with shocking clarity, that the God given dignity of human life should never be taken for granted. It must be respected and defended in the way our lives are lived, in our conversations with others and in every political arena.

One year ago, Dory hosted several Blogger’s Best for Terri Schiavo and now plans three editions to be posted on Saturday, March 18th, Friday, March 24th and Friday March 31st. Follow this link for the details.

Let's honor Terri's memory by making the argument for why lives like hers should be protected, respected, and loved.

Terri Schiavo died in 1990. Her body was cruelly kept around for another 15 years. Get over it.

The Secular Humanists are very much like the Islamic radicals.

The Christian and Jew says: "I will die for what I believe."

The Secular Humanist says: "You will die for what I believe."

Welcome to the New World Order.

"Her body was cruelly kept around for another 15 years."

I wonder what date Terri's death certificate shows? I suspect it isn't 1990.

"Terri Schiavo died in 1990."

The funny thing about that position is that it is both anti-religion AND anti-science. Most religions, and especially Christianity, hold that life is an important thing to be respected and protected.

According to science, Terri was alive until she was killed last year. She was not brain dead; she was severely brain damaged. She breathed on her own. The only thing she couldn't do was feed herself. Therefore, according to science, she was alive.

The only measure by which she was not alive is through a philosophy in which the sick and 'unwanted' do not deserve to live. This philosophy is what Pope John Paul II called the "Culture of Death".
