Was Starvation the Right Thing To Do? According to Zogby . . . . .

A poll completed after the controversial death of Terri Schiavo finds that eight-in-ten (80%) likely voters say that a disabled person who is not terminally ill or in a coma, and not being kept alive by life support should not, in the absence of a written directive to the contrary, be denied food...

Monitoring the Monitors who are Monitoring . . . .

According to an article in the Christian Science Monitor, a new group is getting ready to monitor the monitors who are monitoring the border patrols who are monitoring the illegals streaming across the border (who are likely monitoring the landscape in all directions). Did you get all that?... Sign in to see full entry.

Just One More Comment . . . About Terri. . . .

I read tonight in one of the AP articles on Terri Schiavo that in death, as in life, her body is at the mercy of her husband. According to this article, not only is her husband going to bury or scatter her ashes in an unknown location, but he will also not notify her parents when the burial is to...

Impression -- That of a Persisten Vegetative State?

[I find it quite amazing that this woman has hung on for so long. We're at about 14 days now, right? Someone in a vegetative state would not have the will to hang on for so dang long. If it was just up to her brain stem, she'd be long dead. I've got news for you people who think she should die --... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm So Very Sorry -- Please Forgive Me . . . . .

Yah know, I wonder how the whole mess of the Schiavo-Schindler debacle could have been avoided if either Mr. Schiavo or Mr. Schindler apologized to the other and began the healing process from the gaping rift. Wasn't it about 10 years ago or so that they had that huge falling out? Michael said it... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank God for Morphine!

It would seem that there is no more hope of survival left for Terri in this life. She is near the end of her struggle and her life is almost over. I was very thankful to read that she is now on either a Morphine drip, or is receiving some form of Morphine to help ease any discomfort she may be... Sign in to see full entry.

The air is fresh, clear, a slight breeze whispering through the graceful, billowy branches of multiple olive trees. There are few people out since it is very early in the day, on the first day of the week, at sunrise. Dew drops glisten on peach rose petals, and mixed in with a tangle of trellised...

Of What Value is Life? Of What Value Is A Brain Full of Dead Cells?

I decided, after writing a lengthy comment to Dennison Mann in one of Empty Handed Painter’s posts, that I would take advantage of those comments and turn them into a post of my own. In thinking about the Terri Schiavo case and the multiple opinions this whole situation has invoked, one thing that... Sign in to see full entry.

It's All About Quality of Life . . . Or Is It??

I have been intrigued, appalled, dismayed, frustrated, angered, etc over the latest blogging comments made by several of the usual Blogit commentators regarding the Terri Schiavo debacle. I’ve made my opinions pretty clear on what I think should be done for her, as well as my angst and anger over... Sign in to see full entry.
