What are we coming to now? CNN has a pull asking who should decide for Terri and 73% say her husband. Then over on Fox you have 36% wanting the Supreme Court to decide. You have a Yahoo! story "with Experts" saying the video where the picture above comes from is a "lie" about her actual condition. Jeb Bush having experts saying she was misdiagnosed. Our friend over at Cao's Blog with great incite and stories on this matter. In fact, bloggers everywhere are throwing there hat's into the issue. It's a topic at work and with my co-workers. It's on the radio, including sports radio. My wife and I debate it. I am sure my friends snicker or praise my thoughts. It goes on and on.
Anyone get what's going on really? Michael Schiavo (see link) wants his wife dead and has flat out given her family no choice in this matter. Think about this for second. Whether or not Terri is a vegetable IS NOT the issue. You readers should not be convincing yourself or me that this is the reason. This I almost guarantee! Give up on that thought process. What you have is a guy, Michael Schiavo (see link), a total selfish human being, who only thinks of himself. He is not unlike, Scott Peterson or OJ Simpson. He only cares about his NEW family with his girlfriend and not a care for his in-laws. I thought about this today. If your spouse was in Terri's situation would you deny your in-laws the choice to care for their child, if they felt so strongly about it? 99% of you would NOT! Michael Schiavo (see link) has turned his back. What if Terri really told Michael she did not want live this way? Ok.. Fine... But would Terri want Michael to turn his back on her family? Absolutely not! If you put yourself before your family you are an evil person.
I have read where people are fasting until Terri's food source is returned. Commendable! I get it, I support you and you are not crazy. I have also read the analogies regarding Christopher Reeve who couldn't eat or breath on his own. The only reason he survived was because he could communicate. The Million Dollar Baby analogy? Hillary Swank's character wanted to die! Terri's case? Nobody knows for sure. Battle lines are drawn and if you polled Americans, they'd want Michael to call thing off and go away. Simple as that.
An interesting observation. It's Easter Week and it looks as if this thing, if not resolved the Schindler family's way, Terri could pass away over the weekend. Are we creating martyr over one man's selfishness? What could he possibly be gaining from his outcome that we're not seeing? Is there more of a reason why this happening now, this week, or is it just a coincidence?
