Try and pay attention, people.

I wasn't arguing the validity of her final wish (although the sole source we have of that being her final wish seems to be her incredibly creepy husband). What I was arguing was the manner of that death. It's babaric, and it's just plain wrong. We don't let people do that to dogs, why in the name of all that's holy, sacred and true are we doing it to a human being?

(Plus, I can't find my damn wallet so that makes me even grumpier.)

Hope I didn't come off too cold-hearted here.

I'd also rather see something more peaceful and humane than starvation. However, it's the family members who will truly be undergoing the suffering; Terri Schiavo is unable to "experience" this event any more than any other heretofore-uneffective stimuli.

Not to mention --- okay, I'm mentioning it --- that GOP lawmakers are swinging the pendulum in completely the opposite direction. Humane death? Pshaw. They're determined to keep this woman a vegetable to the very end. Removing the tube at least means that she'll have peace relatively soon.
