Man, this Schiavo situation is ridulous the way it’s monopolizing the media. It seems like Mr. Schiavo and Terri’s parents could have worked something out a long time ago.

I caught a piece of Bill O’Reilly’s Radio Factor tonight and he was saying the best thing Michael Schiavo could do is say, “I’ve done everything I can to do what I think Terri would have wanted, but if her parents and other family members want to take over as her caregiver, then so be it.”

It’s an interesting assertion.

My mom is pleased that Terri Schiavo’s miserable life is going to end soon. She’s made me (and my other siblings) promise to “pull the plug” as soon as possible if she’s ever incapacitated like Schiavo is. She should probably have “D.N.R.” tattooed somewhere on her body.

As I listen and read about what’s going on, I’m alarmed by how different Terri is from what it seems most people think. The less-informed media and public think she’s unconcious, in a coma, and hooked up to a ventilator and a heart pump or something. Meanwhile, people pleading for her life say she’s awake, she recognizes family members, she has some ability to communicate, and could very well swallow and eat soft foods like Jello if she was allowed to do so. The truth is probably somewhere in between.

I think, based on what I’ve heard and read, she shouldn’t die... especially from starvation and dehydration. That’s just inhumane. I mean, if they’re going to practice legal euthenasia, at least get a vetrinarian in there who knows how to do it right!
