Big day today in the world surrounding the value of life. The husband of Terri Schiavo has won his case and the feeding tube that is keeping his wife alive will be removed. Interesting to me that we’re worried about one of two things here: 1.) her being alive is an inconvenience to Michael, or 2.) we want to let her die to end her suffering. Last time I checked, starving to death wasn’t too fun. And if being an inconvenience to people is a reason to let people die, let the killings begin!!! However, this is why I want to have a living will that will state, in the event of tremendous financial burden or no realistic solution for improvement, I want to die. But by all means, don’t let me starve to death. Just kill me. I give you permission, do it. But, would that be considered suicide? Hmmm…
In other news, FDA is in trouble because they haven’t approved a morning after pill that will basically prevent/abort pregnancy up to 72 hours after sex. Anyone else see the irony in the FDA getting so worked up about Vioxx and the increased “RISK” of heart attacks for users, as opposed to the GUARANTEED DEATH of a human life if you take a product as prescribed?
I stayed up watching the CSpan proceedings. Fascinating and sad. I'm afraid that in the end the action of the Congress will not actually help. This is simply the fruit of futile thinking at many levels and legislation will not fix it though I am glad that she has not yet been starved to death.
BTW, why won't my RSS reader work with your feed?
