You know, this Terri Schialvo thing and peoples reactions here on LJ have got me skeeved just a bit. Why? Because I'm not real sure people are clear on just how that woman is apparently now going to die.
Starvation and thirst, people. She is either going to starve to death or die of thirst.
I just don't understand people.
Apparently, her "husband" wants to "put it behind him".
PUT IT BEHIND HIM?
She's your goddamn wife, you sack of crap, not some old car!

This is right-wing politics run amok.
The idea of her starving to death is terrible, but once again: She is not going to feel it. She doesn't have any capacity to "experience" it the way you or I might.
