Jim and Terry
Update: March 31, 2005
Terry passed away this morning after 13 days of starvation and dehydration.
Were this done to a prisoner in Abu Graib, officers would have been court marshalled and imprisoned for torture and murder.
Were this done to a newborn baby, the offender would be charged and imprisoned for child abuse, criminal neglect, and murder.
Were this done to a stray cat, the abuser would be charged and imprisoned for cruely to animals.
Were this done to a handicapped woman based on heresay from a man who is living with another woman despite the deperate pleas from her own parents, 2/3rds of my country nods in approval and watches her die without recourse, without penalty.
Today, I am ashamed of my country.

Mark:
As I’ve followed the Shiavo news, I eagerly wanted to hear what you had to say about all of this. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing. I’ve referred to your article on my new “personal” blog as well.

i think that it was pretty much murder due to the fact that she was not completely brain dead. there was brain movement for the simple fact that she was not on life support only a feeding tube and when they took that out she slowly killed her because she was not getting any of the nutrition that she needed to keep her alive. it’s the same way with children and babies. they can’t feed themselves and they can be takin away nad us be put in jail for malnutrition but yet they can pull her off of it and get away with it. it’s all contriditings it’s self and that’s not right. they either need to follow the laws that they created all the way or not at all.
