can i be honest and a little insensitive? i'm really sick of the whole terry schaivo thing. maybe it just irritates me because my view on the whole thing is obviously in favor of the husband (and really, terry) and that makes me a killer-lover. i think the whole thing is really just a chance for pro-lifers to get on their soap box about how valuable and precious life is and blah blah blah. but the woman doesnt even know she's alive and hasn't known for 15 years. what about the quality of life? doesn't that factor into anything here? doctors say she has no chance for any sort of recovery. no chance. at all. ever. wouldn't her parents want to let go? so that she can finally go to a better place. saying goodbye to a loved one is incredibly hard. but terry said goodbye 15 years ago. i think its time her parents do, too. they shouldn't let her death be the only thing remembered about her by her friends and family.
that being said, if i'm in a vegitative state for like... a few years and the doctors say there is no chance for my recovery. at all. ever. even a little bit. its ok if they pull the plug/take out the feeding tube/etc. because my family/husband/whoever will have to deal with all the hospital bills and really, thats unfair. also, i wouldn't know i was alive so therefore, i wouldn't know if i was dead/being killed/etc.
