Subject: RE: BS: High Court Rules In Terry Schiavo Case
Imagine if such went with you...
Anyone of us could be in Terri Schiavo's place or of her parents... Think about...
The correct would be the Terri's husband to request the divorce and consequently to give to the Terri's parents the right to drive their daughter's destiny.
Is not right that the husband or the wife decide in cases like this, when their spouse should die or where should be buried, if the parents or any other member of the family with sanguine connection want to assume the responsibilities of defenseless relatives...
Is evident, the Terri's husband only wants to be free to join to another woman legally... The Judge could give to him the right of the automatic divorce, but to ignore the despair of the Terri's parents it's inhuman! If He was a good man he could abdicate of this difficult decision...
The laws are wrong and they need to be corrected. I agree, the euthanasia could be admitted in some cases, but it should be absolutely painless and it should only be applied in the own patient's case to sign the authorization or not being possible, the parents, siblings and or children to sign. Spouses should only to authorize the deliberation in the lack of another closest member of the family of blood.
I think that should be allowed to the parents of Terri to take she to their house and to rent the machine for maintenance of her life.
It's inhuman to leave a defenseless patient without feeding to die of starvation...
Today the drama is of the Terri's parents. Tomorrow can be our !
