Terri Shiavo

I think that everything that can be done to alleviate suffering of a person dieing or in a vegatative state should be done. What concerns me about this 15 year period for Terri, is that Terri was very concerned about her physical appearance to begin with. She was bulimic. She was very concerned about her appearance. If that was the case, how would she feel about her existance, if she was able to know how she looked now? I believe she would want to end this ordeal. If she was aware of her existance and somehow smiled for her parents, who just could not bear to let go and let God take her, then it is also a selfish, (but I can understand) desire of her parents.

Her husband, Michael has agreed to allow an autopsy upon her 'release to God'. Logically this says that Michael knows he did not mistreat his wife some 15 years ago.

I know that the religious right has very strong feelings about this issue. What is really surprising is that the vast majority of Americans don't share these strong feelings. They would like to see the husband's wishes granted. Maybe, the media can now see that it is not the religious right that should be controlling this country, but as was said many years ago, the 'silent majority', who think that Terri should be allowed to die with dignity.

This is a hard issue full of 'religious emotion'. There is much around us to show there is some kind of 'Supreme Intellegence'. This 'Supreme Intellegence' would want us to use our intellegence to give man a quality life and a long quality life with all the technology we have. But we should not use this intellegent technology to keep our bodies alive, when the 'Soul' of our body has decided it is time to 'Go Home.'
