Terri

How can a woman who has harmed no one be put to death by order of her unfaithful husband? Terri left no 'living will'.
Not on life support, merely being fed and given water - but through a tube. That is not extraordinary.

If she spoke up now and said 'no' - I suspect her husband will still demand she die.

Yes, she is brain damaged - but ....

She is not brain dead.

If our society allows the slow starving and dehydration of an innocent woman because her brain doesn't work well, we are no better than the German Nazis.

It is a small thing, Terri's little life. But it is all she has on this earth, and we should not take it.

No one will even be allowed to try to feed her or give her water.

This is all so wrong, so evil, so inhuman that it is inexcusable.

May her husband and his doctors and attorneys all burn in hell.

All these bloggers are blogging to help save Terri's life:



And, say a prayer for Terri. Killing her by starvation is absolutely evil.

The whole thing makes me feel as if I am in the bad parts of a Dickens novel. One from hell, with no ending.
