Death: A public display

Mrs. Schiavo has died.

Concider for a moment the mentality of all of those people who base their view on the matter with the phrase: “I wouldn’t want to live that way”.


It reveals quite a bit. It’s not about you or me living that way, it’s about her.

The government was already involved – they awarded custody to a man who under common law would be her ex-husband, and refused to hold the evidentiary hearing that the U.S. Congress compelled them to do. That was the ONLY intervention, by the way, that the Congress engaged in.

They’ve started the annual baby-seal cull in Canada.
Wait for the hypocrisy.
Next time a death-row appeal is turned down, just wait for the hypocrisy about always erring on the side of caution, life, and a rehabilitated future.

She will indeed be going to a better place – one where a court of law doesn’t treat people with little more regard than broken furniture. A judge compelled a hospice to take an active measure to terminate a life without concidering the validity of her guardianship.

Did anyone ask the Judge if she could be brought into this world?
