I am completely supporting of euthanasia, but there's something really fucked up here. The moment the husband got money from the legal battles he wanted her dead. He is also going against the parent's wishes on everything. He's just a douchebaggish, disgusting, vile little man. He even ordered the doctors to not try and help after after she was given a nearly fatal injection. I mean, sure, I support the euthanasia, but he seems like a walking bag of shit.

I agree with you there

I don't really know a lot about it, but how can the husband overide the parents' wishes? Logically, I mean. Because I think the parents are the people who should have a final say in these kind of matters, after the person herself.

You know if they do a follow up story three months from now he'll already be remarried, and his new wife will probably be pregnant.

All these Christians say that they should have kept her alive but if they truly believed in god then they would have known that it was Terri's time to go. Putting a feeding tube in her was defying god in the first place...

I don't really know what's up with her husband, but WHO THE FUCK CARES? It's his life. The American populace has way too much time on their hands. Get out of other people's business and deal with your own damn life, you spoiled pricks.

Anyways, thats my view on the Terri Shaivo case.

It's not about God's wish. It's about the "sanctity of life". The Catholic Church believes that all life is sacred and therefore should never be ended. Even in a mercy killing like her case.

As for the husband.....so what if it's not our buisness. It's still a disgusting thing to do. He probly treated her like shit, that's why she was so self-concious. The man just seems like a disgusting human being.

I think euthenasia would be the way to go. I think her husband wanted it for the wrong reasons. I'm also sure that she would have never wanted to be shown in that condition(it's all pretty f*cked up).

Thats exactly what they said on South Park. You can't cite a cartoon!

The really sad/true part is, none of you would care or know about this if the media hadn't shoved this in your face.

Do any of you honestly think this is a new type of case? Custody and "sanctity of life" cases have been going on for days and years. It's just when some executive in the media thinks to himself "Hmm... I could use some more money about now..." that this stuff gets thrown at you. The worst part is: it works.

Probably the most insane development in the case that I read, is that fact that one of the judges was going to be excommunicated from his church. That just blows my mind. See, I'm betting almost all Americans aren't aware that they're staying in this country under an agreement. An agreement called the constitution. So where do these relgious nazis get off excommunicating judges that were just doing their job? Whatever hapened to separation of church and state? I'm aware of how much religious influence controls this country, but even so, we have things that come BEFORE that, called the core democratic values.

Every day, in my US History class, I read about them. Every day, I think I see more being broken.

Well they did have a good point... :D

Jera, they have every right to excommunicate a judge. That is seperation of church and state. It doesn't mean the church can't react, it means that the church can't command. They can excommunicate as long as they don't go in and make the judge do something. A religion is like an interest group.

Well it certainly isn't just in any respect. "Hey, we don't like what you did, so can go away!" Yeah, great religion you have there. Why on earth would anyone join these "interest groups"?

... Because they share the same "interest". Religious people aren't perfect; they're simply people, and everyone acts stupid and makes mistakes sometimes.

Ironically, your expectation of these people are a bit too high. :P

Admittedly I do expect people not to be retarded, but I guess that's becoming harder and harder in this day and age.

Exactly! This case has been going on for years now and as soon as the media has just started covering it... It just proves how powerful the media is in this country, huh?
