Re: Appeals court: Terri Schiavo parents cannot intervene

Now I don’t know the whole story. But I will say this. 14 years? I mean come on. What exactly are they holding out or onto for? Sorry to be so blunt but the woman that everyone knew is gone has been for a while she is the equivalent of a breathing piece of meat with no consciousness. People say how could you let your child go? I say how could you let your child live like that? It isn’t even life. She doesn’t play, work, socialize, vote, nothing. She does nothing. The only thing left is the outer shell, the body. The mind is what we truly love about people the body just holds the mind. In her case the mind is gone; everything they loved is gone only the body remains. I think it is cruel to the parents and all who loved her to keep the body alive. Especially for 14 years. If my child was in a position where I would never be able to enjoy his/her company the way that I am used to I would let go. What is the sense? What if her parents and husband passed away on the same day tomorrow? What do they do then? How long do you let a living corpse live? Starving her to death I don’t like. There are other human ways. Regardless of whatever family situation the husband is in it is not fair. When I say I do not want to be left alive on tubes it isn’t because I don’t want medical costs to mount or I don’t want to be on display for the world to see and become a spectacle it is because I want my loved ones to move on. The person that lived in her died 14 years ago let her go……
