Terri Schiavo suffered brain damage 15 years ago. There is evidence to suggest that she may have been physically attacked by her husband, but no court will put forth an investigation to confirm or deny that. Her husband won a large amount of money in a lawsuit from a doctor that was suppose to go towards her rehabilitation, but instead he has used in on court cases trying to kill her. And despite the fact that they are married, he has had two children with another woman that he plans on marrying once Terri is dead.
I believe she should be kept alive. If she were brain-dead or in a coma then I could see the argument she should be left to die. But she has brain activity. Euthanasia is referred to as "Mercy Killing". Where is the mercy in letting someone starve to death? And even if anyone would not want to be kept alive like that, would you want to be starved to death? And do you honeslty believe her husband has her best interest at hand?
Instead of lethal injection or the gas chamber or electric chair, from now on lets lock death room inmates in a room with no food an let them starve to death as our new execution method.
If an animal attacks a human and needs to be killed, lets let it starve to death instead of just putting it to sleep.
The anti-death penalty and animal rights activists would be all over that instantly. The ACLU, who is supporting the husband's right to starve his wife to death, would be all over the issue if this was used to execute death row inmates.
