Terry Shiavo Poll

[J. J.]

she's died. :blank:

Yep. Which renders the argument moot. But I'll probably reply to BlueJ* tonight anyway.


*couldn't resist the chance to give him one of those bold nicknames first.

You are correct. 

I have several outrages with this case, but it isn't moot.  One claim has been that Mrs. Schiavo wasn't in a PVS.  We should the ultimate evidence to her cognative state after the autopsy.

I expect comment after that.

For me, the question was what Terry's wishes really were. We won't know now, of course.

And instead of quoting the previous poll, let's summarize instead:
We agree that what Michael did was legal.
We disagree that what Michael did was moral.
And I doubt we are going to convince each other otherwise.

I think Michael is a prick.
You disagree.
And I doubt we are going to convince each other otherwise.

Oh, and lay off the personal attacks - I haven't attacked you personally and would appreciate the same courtesy.

I have not made one personal attack on you.

If it was Terri Schiavo's wishes, while a compentent adult that here wishes were, "If I ever go like that just let me go.  Don't leave me there.  I don't want to be kept alive on a machine," would you call Michael Schiavo a "prick?"

Why did you put quotes around that?  That's not a quote from Terri Schiavo.

Where it is or isn't is not part of the question.  Here is the question:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

If she said this, would the Senator, or you call Michael Shiavo a "prick."  Would you further say that it was not "moral" to remove a feeding tube?  The "moral" argument was raised by WMS.
