More on Schiavo

There's little I've been able to focus on besides the Terri Schiavo case. Despite the best efforts of most of Congress, a federal judge has denied the parents' new motion.

Two Major Points:
1. Only the word of Terri's husband demonstrates that she wanted to die. That's what most of the media keeps obmitting along with the fact that he How can Schiavo's husband be considered acting in Terri's best interests when he lives with another woman and has children by her? It dumbfounds me how the courts do not see his position as guardian as comprimised.
2. This is horrible precedent to set. There are many severely disabled are there that need to be fed. When all we need to do starve someone to death is take the word of a slimy man, how small of a step is it to killing of the retarded? Determine the quality of "life is low" and then starve them?

The Vatican eloquently sounded off on the case in their paper, L'Osservatore Romano:

Who can, before God and humanity, pretend with impunity to claim such a right?" L'Osservatore Romano said. "Who — and on the basis of which criteria — can establish to whom the 'privilege' to live should be given?"... "Who can judge the dignity and sacredness of the life of a human being, made in the image and likeness of God? Who can decide to pull the plug as if we were talking about a broken or out of order household appliance?" the paper said. AP

World Net Daily sounded off on that ABC Poll which found that 63% of people would side in favor of the slimy husband. I serious doubt they would if they knew the facts in the case. Remember all Schiavo needs is food and water and that she is NOT on life support. It would be a wholly different situation if Terri was on life support and the husband was faithful. Instead ABC, in typical communist style, skewes the poll:

"the question posed by the news network portrayed her as having "no consciousness" and being on "life support," rather than an awake, responsive patient with a feeding tube. "Schiavo suffered brain damage and has been on life support for 15 years," the poll informed respondents. "Doctors say she has no consciousness and her condition is irreversible. Her husband and her parents disagree about whether she would have wanted to be kept alive. Florida courts have sided with the husband and her feeding tube was removed on Friday. What's your opinion on this case – do you support or oppose the decision to remove Schiavo's feeding tube?"
