03/24/2005: "Worth Pondering"

Let’s just say for the sake of argument that Michael Schiavo is telling the truth and really believes that he is carrying out Terri’s wishes as a dedicated husband when she announced at the tender age of 25 she would not want to be kept alive artificially.

Michael, would she tell you to fight on no matter what the cost in emotional pain to her parents and siblings would be? Would she tell you that no matter what, the most important thing to her was her right to die regardless of the tortured look in her parent’s eyes? Would she tell you to stand tough and break her parent’s heart to carry out her wishes? Did she think her right to die trumped everything else? If she could speak for herself and not through you, is the situation as it is going on right now what she wanted? Is it Michael? Is it Judges?

If you can say with certainty that Terri merits the title of the world’s most selfish bitch and that this is exactly how she wanted things to go, then you have made the right decisions. If not, stop this insanity while you can.
