I haven't had much time to think about it much this morning, but reading the news that Congress was up at night in special session and the President signed the bill at 1 a.m. to keep Terri Schiavo alive was a bit too much. I'm all for this woman's right to live (which no body really knows what her wishes were), but this seems just a big too ridiculous for some reason. These are just my groggy morning thoughts. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/coffee2.gif" alt="" />
This is one of those typical cases where one person's situation is going to determine a law that will effect the entire nation. I generally oppose such things as they are typically trivial matters, e.g., a drunk slams his car into a tree so the grieving mother, wife, girlfriend, etc., hounds the local legislatures, passes around a petition, gets on the news, etc., until a law is passed that requires all trees be a minimum 100 feet from any road. Well, you know.... if that lousy tree wouldn't have been there, even though it had been for several hundred years, this man would be alive today. His death had nothing to do with his over-indulgent drunken behaviour, right? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes2.gif" alt="" />

However, in this case, the Judges decision to ORDER that the feeding tube be removed goes beyond the interpretation of the law and sets a precedence which would open the door to legalizing the murder of countless individuals. They have already succeeded in legalizing the murder of the unborn. The next logical step, which so many have predicted and anticipated is the murder of the infirm, elderly, cast-aways, etc.......! I think it is good that Congress and the President have acted with the intent and hope of nipping this in the bud at this time. I have no doubt that within the next generation, such murderous acts will be permitted by law. [Linked Image]
