Here I am, after a long break (like I needed one) from writing.  This i my opinion on the situation concerning Terri Schiavo.

As far as I'm concerned no one should have to live like that.  What can she possibly do?  We know she can't eat on her own, she can't speak, she can't move, she probably can't think.  She is a vegetable!

I, myself would never want to live if I were in her situation.  What can I possibly do in a state like that?  What does her family expect her to do?  Are they expecting a miracle?  They've been waiting for 13 years; if a miracle was coming it should've definately been here by now.

I just can't understand why anyone would want to prolong a life that is basically not a life.  But then, these are Christians here.

I'm not against God or Jesus.  I'm against most of their followers.  I'm against people who force their religion and views on others.  I'm against people who selfishly do things to others without concern for their safety or even their freewill.

You may say that I'm forcing my opinion on you right now by writing this here.  Well, no.  I didn't tell you that you had to read this.  And there's absolutely nothing stopping you from leaving this page.

Now, I say this whole thing is the doing of Christians because they're coming up on election time in Florida.  What a better way to get votes than to have a story to pull the community together and have a hero to come in and save the day.  That hero is Governor Jeb Bush and he's likely up for re-election.  I don't know for certain if he is running, but this is all too convenient (sp).

One real question I have is did she really tell her husband she wouldn't want to live that way?  If she did say this then her family is not respecting her wishes.  If she did say this then they are keeping her alive for some reason other than for her to live.  That's not right!

Well, if she did a Living Will I'm sure she wouldn't be in this situation.  And if she can think I'll bet she's kicking herself left and right for not writing one.
