Terri Schiavo, 41, collapsed in her home in 1990, suffering from heart failure that led to severe brain damage. Michael Schiavo said his wife suffered from bulimia that resulted in a potassium deficiency, triggering the heart failure.

zengirl said:According to a news report I heard this morning, the American Academy of Neurology reports that she has a 0% chance of any improvement or recovery from her condition. She is in an irreversable veggetative state.
My question is, why are such extreme measures considered moral while a natural death is considered immoral? This woman's body would have been dead many years ago had it not been kept alive by life support. Her brain has been dead for years, the ability to sustain basic life support functions in her body Has relied 100% on ventilators, feeding tubes and the like. With a 0% change of recovery, why is it considered immoral to allow this body to follow the brain in death?
smileynev said:Just a feeding tube actually. She can do everything else I believe, and thats the distinction between this and other cases. I guess the right wing nutjobs don't see it as god's will to let her die. god intended her to be kept in this state for another 30 years.
Desslock said:Because people are pussies when it comes to death.
smileynev said:They really should use her life and story as an example to other bulimic and anorexic morons of what can happen when you fuck with your body too much.
Desslock said:Its funny, that part of the story is not getting much air time.
God shouldn't factor into it at all though.smileynev said:Just a feeding tube actually. She can do everything else I believe, and thats the distinction between this and other cases.

If that's the case then the husband was the appropriate person to make the decision despite what the parents thought. By rite of marriage the daughter no longer belonged to the family but to the husband.smileynev said:It should if thats what the family and her believed in. In fact, this is an area that the government should stay out of primarily because it involves religious belief.
