Hmm, I would assume something that is 'all over the news' is something America would indeed care about. Odd.
The fact is many people across the country came to support her, some just to try and take water up to her, inevitably getting arrested.
There's nothing wrong with you not caring. I'm sure there are lots of people who feel the same way. But, not me. I realized and accepted her horrible fate, but I sympathized for those who were closest to her- friends and family. I would not want to be in a situation like that solely for one reason- because I wouldn't want to put my parents through that kind of grief. I value life, as a whole, I might not be directly affected by individuals, but different people happen to share the same kind of pain. You don't need religion for any of that. Joke if you will, maybe a few people are laughing, but life and death are no joking matter, sometimes you only realize that when it hits close to home.

In what way did they have it coming? You don't think if you were in that situation your family would want to fight to keep your life? They didn't publicise Terry's situation for fun, they were involved in a legal battle with her husband on whether she should be kept alive or not. If America doesn't give two hoots about that then they're stupid, apart from anything else, because the decision in this case forms the basis for any similar cases in the future so if it's someone you know next time you'd be scrambling to find half the arguments discussed in Terry's case and you'd count your blessings to receive half the public support she did.

^I've always wondered how people can think that being Christian automatically makes you a good person. That aside, you obviously don't realize why it is that everyone here is getting their "panties into a twist" over this. It's because the rest of us have a sense of empathy, something you obviously lack.

lilbloodredridinghood · 04-11-2005, 06:27 AM

If I were braindead I would not want to be kept alive. If someone I knew...OH WAIT! One of my very good friends got shot in the head by his brother and was braindead instantly...And, oh, he wasn't kept alive by some machinery and crap. There was NO POINT.

But really. shut up now. I have better things to do then sit here and blab on and on in this stupid debate about nothingness.

No point? Terry was starting to respond to some things. She could have improved, there's that little thing called hope that you can't berate her family for having.

A persons life is precious and not a debate about nothing. However if you feel this way then stop reading the thread. No-one's forcing you to reply.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that they proved that she wasn't actually responding to things around her, and that there was no chance that her situation could have been improved. Personally, I wouldn't want to be kept alive in that situation, all the things that make life worth living would be stripped away.

Isn't that what was in question throughout all those court appeals? Or did the autopsy report already surface, and is that what was determined?

How this went from HotorNot pics to Terry Shiavo is peculiar to say the least.

Sweet Jane · 04-11-2005, 07:01 PM

She'd smiled or something a few days before they let her go. Can't remember what else it was. Anyway I wouldn't want to be kept alive like if no chance of recovering either, I was simply saying that I can fully understand why the situation was of such public importance, and I can see why the family would find it hard to just give up.

Yeah, I can easily see why it's of so much importance. Most of the reports I heard anyways was that even though she did smile, they were random impulses rather than actual responses to the things around her. I also heard that when they removed the feeding tube, her nervous system was so damaged that she wouldn't have felt any discomfort from being hungry and thirsty, which is definitely a good thing.
