Terri Schindler-Schiavo: Euthanize the weasel, but let Terri live

EmeraldPrincessOnline
Why should Terri Schindler-Schiavo have to essentially be put to death for the convenience of her husband? How is it that in our modern day American culture a person's right-to-life is somehow secondary to someone right-to-death? I am passionate about Terri's situation. No doubt the strain of all of these years of her being disabled has taken a toll on the entire family, however, her husband has shown that he is a weasel.

Jeb Bush did a good thing when he stopped the efforts to remove her PEG tube.

Why the judges in Florida have sided with her husband and how they could want her blood on their hands, I do not understand.

Why, oh why, if her parents are willing to assume the financial responsibility for her ongoing care, why doesn't her husband just go to Nevada, get a quickie divorce, and get on with his life with the woman he has made multiple babies with, but leave Terry alone and allow her to live. Why couldn't her parents be granted guardianship of Terri? I don't see why she has to die for his convenience.

There are many photographs and day-to-day updates on the process through the courts of Terri's desperate case which can be found on the Web at http://www.terrisfight.org. One picture says it all for me: the look of love captured as Terri is smiling and straining to reach her mother.

Euthanize the weasel. Let Terri live.

In the early morning hours today when I received the urgent news bulleting that the federal judge had declined to allow Terri's feeding tube reinserted, I was absolutely heartsick. How can such barbarism thrive? Is it not surely the end of civilization and life (literally) as we know it?

The lying, conniving buffoon who masquerades as her doting husband made yet another disgusting appearance on Larry King Live last night and had the audacity to make the following statement:

"When Terri's wishes are carried out, it will be her wish. She'll be at peace, she'll be with the Lord," Michael Schiavo said Monday.

What place does he have, what nerve, to even dare to comment on Terri's status and that "she'll be at peace, she'll be with the Lord." May God strike him dead right now!

Then his tone became catty and he talked down to Larry like he was addressing a little kid, when he said, "Let's be realistic, Larry. You can't regrow a brain," he said. It's just too bad that he never had one in the first place, and worse that he clearly does not have a heart. Terri desperately needs to be rescued and removed from the entire situation. People should organize a rescue mission, like a ninja mission, a surgical strike, go into the facility, pick her up, throw her over their shoulder, spirit her away to a waiting plane, and take her out of this country to somewhere -- maybe Canada -- or Europe -- where human life is not discarded and deliberately allowed to die in this cruel, unthinkable manner.
