Terri Schiavo

This blog documents the lies the right wing has been telling in the incredibly sad Terri Schiavo case.

Two comments: one, the woman has been essentially dead for 15 years; only modern medicine has kept her alive. So if the right is all about God's will, what they're doing is interferring with it. Two, while I believe Terri should be allowed to die, its horrific that it will be done by starving her. We show more compassion toward our dying animals, which we euthanize, than human beings.

I think this whole case is also part of the weird way Americans try to deny death. People die. Its sad, but its part of the circle of life blah-blah. Learn to accept it. Learn to let go.
