So my question is one that is flooding the internet and every other form of media and that is how any one with a conscience can follow through with removing Terry Schiavo's feeding tube. It seems that the only people who have ever heard her requests were her husband and his side of the family. The same man who instead of being faithful until the end, like his wedding vows promised he would, went and had himself a new family. He has taken a common law wife and had a family with her. The same man who stands to inherit anything that is left of the multimillion dollar settlement from a malpractice suit, but he has to kill his wife first. That is all this is, legal murder. Condemned prisoners are treated better then this women is being right now. They at least are allowed to die in a quicker manner then being starved to death.

There are arguments that she feels no pain, but since everyone making those claims has never been in her shoes, they have no idea what she does or does not feel. What she can do is respond to stimuli and while it is not as consistent as you or I, it happens.

Terry was(is) a devout Catholic, there is no way she would have agreed to the way her husband has been treating her nor would she have wished to have her feeding tube removed. Remember, the experts are saying that since she breathes on her own and her heart beats unassisted. That means she is alive and to remove her source of nutrition is murder.

I am glad to see that Congress has stepped in and will pass a law to make sure these types of cases have a review at the federal level. While I am a states rights and minimalist government kind of guy there are times when they need to step in and this is one of those times.
