It’s hard to believe the amount of attention being paid to the plight of Terry Schiavo. For 15 years she’s been in what doctors’ refer to as a “persistent vegetative state,” and in light of her husband’s latest court victory and the impending removal of her feeding tube, everyone suddenly has a stake in her life or death. Even Congress has added their two cents in what I believe to be a flagrant overstepping of federal authority. Frankly, it’s none of our concern. This is an issue between Terri’s husband and her parents. Is Michael Schiavo really the sleaze they’re making him out to be? Or are the Schindlers’ just being selfish in keeping Terri alive year after year? None of our business! Speaking for myself, a life like Terri’s is not worth living. I would not want my loved ones put into a position such as this. If anything positive has come from Ms Schiavo’s plight, it’s the importance of a living will.
