Allright, I hate doing stuff like this, and I wasn't going to, but I think something needs to be said. I'm not saying this is LACK of others speaking out, because there not. Its just recently that I've formed an opion about it. It confused me greatly until today.
I'm sure everyone in America knows who Terri Schiavo is by now. Everyone knows the sisuation surounding her. I didn't know what to think, I was so conflicted about it. All the medical terms and videos just made me more confused. Then I read something that said people are not God and shouldn't act like it. That made a lot of sense to me. We can't handel this one woman, He deals with every person in the world.
Were obvesouly not mature enough to make such decisions. Just look at what it's doing. People are ending life long relationships arguing over it. I was aruging with my self.
You see, even though I believed that we did not have the right to end anothers life, I couldn't help but think that if I was Terri, I wouldn't want to go on living like that. I know that sounds horrible, and I suppose if I was Terri, I wouldn't be aware enough to make a decision like that....Or maybe I would, I don't know. Thats the problem, ever one can make the decision but her.
But then I read a quote from her mother in the paper during Advisory. *Stupid class finally came in handy for something* Of coarse, my parents got ride of the paper so I can't directly quote it and all my hope of looking offically has gone out the window. *tear*
It was her mother begging people to let her save her daoughters life, telling them that she had nightmears about Terri's dieing face.
Thats when it hit me that this poor woman has complete strangers telling her is "constatutional" to end HER daughters life. I also relized that I would never want my mom to feel anything like that. Sure I can't stand the woman, but to have no controll over someone you love life is horrible. Watching her die is horrible.

So I think I might be on rachel's s/n. Your right. Terri Shiavo's parents want her to be alive for them, though it sounds greedy, its true. And they're not trying to be selfish, but if you had a child you was in a state like her, you still wouldn't want them to die, not matter what. It's really sad that the courts are going to let a man off for murder, yet kill a woman for trying to live.
