THIS is an update of what's going on with the Terri Schiavo saga in florida
i have such totally mixed feelings about what is happening
i am very much in favor of euthanasia
i believe in our right to die with dignity
BUT i feel like starving someone to death is just plain wrong
and do we believe her husband's assertions that she claimed to not want to be kept alive this way
most people dont want to be kept on respiratory devices and such, but many times they draw the line at withholding of food and water
i guess i should say that if she had left her wishes in writing---a living will----i would say okay let her die, but what with her entire immediate family against it and no living will, i just couldnt do that to someone
i would want to be given a lethal injection rather than starving to death
or at least a bullet in the head
what are your thoughts on this?
