"There are two kinds of people"...

"... Those who want Terri Schiavo to live and those who want her dead."

That quote, from This Is Rich, is pretty blunt, but probably true.

Terri's husband, Michael, is in the second category; he's wanted Terri dead for a long, long time now.

Another one in the second category is Michael's lawyer, George Felos, a euthanasia activist. He's taken $397,249.99 (scroll to the bottom of the page) in legal fees to try to make sure Terri dies, all of it out of the Medical Expenses Trust Fund that was awarded to Terri by a jury in 1992.

In the other category, those who want her to live, are all the bloggers on Terri's Blogroll, as well as many others, like Rich, quoted above.

Why do I want Terri to live?

Because she is not in a PVS or being kept alive by machines; she smiles, vocalizes, responds to her mother and father. If I was in that situation, I wouldn't want to be starved to death.

Because Terri's parents want to be able to take care of her. I'm a parent, and I would want the same thing for one of my children (God forbid).

Because Terri is a Catholic whose husband has refused to allow her to receive Holy Communion. I'm a Catholic, and for him to refuse the sacraments to her is flat out wrong; I have sympathy for her.

Because she's a human being.

Because if she is starved to death with the state's approval, we are one step further down the path that will lead to the particular hell found in the Netherlands today, where children are euthanized.
