Saying goodbye by the will of your hand gives you the option to do what you want, and perhaps for a short time it would "help" the grieving process.


It shouldn't be about what the parents or any other family want. The family would be doing quite the disservice to her (if she in fact did not want to continue like this) if they want to keep her alive just to postpone their inevitable grief. That would be quite cruel.

This is about what Terri wants. Unfortunately, her wishes were never made clear, which is why this story is anywhere near the news. I have a hard time believing Michael Schiavo, and I have a hard time believing the parents actually think they're acting in Terri's best interests.

EDIT: I just looked at the 'blog', and it's quite disgusting. I would expect all members of the PC left wing to condemn this, but my gut feeling tells me they'll be MIA.
