I'm around today. Medicated during some of it, laundry some of it, run to wal mart early a.m. to no avail, sewed swim suit straps, glued to TV way too much... sad... angry, yet joy for Terri's eternal rest.

Also wrote my Congressman and one Senator friend to butt out of personal tragic family decisions with so many other things needing their attention. I read the court decisions, I heard the hate spewed from a religious leader's mouth this morning, and I have to agree with Michael's attorney when he pointed out the role of said priest should of been one for reconcillation, not division.

I am tired of the hate this whole tragic affair has stirred up across the country. I am weary of people that don't understand how courts make decisions, don't even look them up before deciding the judges are activists in this case.

I'm tired of the good Christian's sitting in judgement of Michael. Walk a mile in his shoes folks.

Worse, it isn't over. Next will be a lawsuit charging him with wrongful death. Then will come the scurry of laws to take family and State decisions away from us. It will also be interesting to see who has the first book, movie, or TV interview.

All this is my opinion, of which I have a right too. Memories of past patients I cared for come to mind. My own Grandmother's last moments come to mind. The death of a friend's daughter at the hands of her step father, comes to mind.  Life experiences, they effect our opinions more than we realize sometimes.

The whole situation is tragic. Someone asked me what I would want...I said I would rather be in heaven than on a feeding tube that was the only thing keeping me alive. Both my parents had living wills and power of attorney for health. I have one, too. Life is precious, but quality of life is most important.
The courts carry out the law, the Constitution, not wishes or hopes. Where would we be if the courts bent to every whim or wish, however defensable?

I agree with you both...this has become a frenzy!  Dignity in death...not being kept alive as a vegetable for years and years....

Divided opinions, I would want a dignified passing over, where was the privacy of Terri's dilemma, In Italy her picture was on TV in the news, is that what she wanted?. But what about the hundreds that every year their machines are switched off, no talk anout them, the whole story to me seems political propaganda. She is now in peace looking down on this crazy world. RIP TERRI.

I still think that things like this are being used to smokescreen the skullduggery that is going on in other areas.

Civil rights appear to me to be going down the tube.

All the  spewed out hate,  all the twisted thinking makes me sick.
