Must-reading on Terri Schiavo

Decided to check out one of the many Blogs for Terri on my sidebar today, and chose this one, Fight4Terri. She has a post today based on this article:Okay, Let's Talk About Terri Schiavo, Again.

Quote:

In short, the more I learned about this case, the more amazed I became that there even was a case, and that any court would even consider denying Terri simple basic nourishment, for any reason, regardless of her husband’s motives.

It became very clear to me that we are not talking about euthanasia, or assisted death by medical procedure. It became clear that we are not even talking about letting God decide her fate by unplugging her from life support keeping her heart pumping, her lungs breathing, and her kidneys functioning.

We are talking about murder by starvation, plain and simple. Terri’s husband no longer has any use for Terri. She is no longer the young vibrant carefree model he once pledged his life to. He has found another to fill that void in his life and Terri is standing in his way of personal happiness, so in his mind, it is time for her to die....

This matter could not possibly be any more cut and dried than it is.
I couldn't agree more.
