But then a bunch of random people wouldn't be able to impose their will on the situation.
One man offered ten million dollars for Michael Schiavo to sign over power of attorney to her parents; another offered a million.

I can't believe that this is still going on.

My only question for her parents would be are they doing this for her sake or for theirs?

Wow...Florida must have no other pertinent issues going on right now. If lawmakers are able to rush into session for this particular issue...Florida must be kicking some serious ass right now...no crime, no corruption, prisons running efficiently, infrastructure running at 100%....

No, Florida has a Christian governor with an agenda. For religious fundamentalists, this case sets a precedent that could be very important in future attempts to blur the line between church and state. This IS a pertinent issue.

The thing that pisses me off the most are the carefully edited and staged screencaps of her that make it look as if she's responding to people or expressing emotion.

That was kinda my point

Your point seemed to be that you think there are more important issues going on. I disagree.

I suppose it's possible that, in my sarcasm, the message got lost.

Florida has a Governor who ... by some some mad coincidence has the last name of Bush.

biggest fucking waste of time. She is fucking brain death hence her vegetative state. It gets me all piss off to think that this moronic governor in Florida and damn religious conservatives in the House think otherwise when every doctor says she is in an irreversible state .

Another hipocracy here is that these conservatives advocates for states's rights and less federal involvement but when they don't get their way , they throw their beliefs out of the window and say that the state is wrong and the federal goverment has to step in.

furthermore, this has been going on here for several years now. only recently has it become a national issue. it isn't as if last month, the powers that be went 'hey, let's kill this schaivo person off'

Make up those living wills and powers of attorneys kids, unless you want to be like the meatscicle in the middle.
Oddly, feeding tubes get yanked all the time, this one just made the news and attracted the flies (politicians) because of the fight with the parents.

or that after your post you are trying to twist your own words into a new meaning.

The House is actually planning on subpeoning Terri Schiavo to "save" her life. Story here: http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/18/schiavo.brain-damaged/index.html

If you weren't sure that the "pro-life" movement wasn't full of psychos before, you probably are now.

Dear sweet jebus ... well, at least maybe they'll finally see that she is a shell of a human and LET HER FUCKING DIE.

No, her awful parents will try to interpret one of her involuntary twitches or a fart as her trying to say "I want to live!" and this continues on.

14 years ... FOURTEEN YEARS ... she has been "living" like this. Can you imagine?

Her parents really need to let go ... maybe buy a puppy. OK, that was wrong, but you know what I mean.

And if you're thinking, well, I'm only 26 years old (or whatever), why do I need a living will, the stroke/cardiac arrest that put Schiavo in this state happened when she was 26.

I'm writing mine up as soon as I can. And I've already made it clear to my immediate family that I don't want to just linger on as a vegetable.

I feel sorry for the husband. Basically the entire government is telling him to fuck off.
