am i evil for *INITIALLY* laughing at this?

anyways, here's something to think about; is a braindead person really alive? does his/her status drop to that of a vegetable? does that mean we can pull the plug now?

some random thoughts to think about:

why it was right for terry to die
---------------------------------
michael shaivo waited 11 years after terry shaivo became a vegetable in the hopes that she'd recover to pull the plug; only did so after doctors made it clear she would no longer recover.
was given 1 mil in malpractice money; spent almost all of it caring for her and fighting in court.
was just trying to respect what he thought was his wife's wishes.
terry shaivo "died" 15 years ago; she became a vegetable after an eating disorder; she had in a sense, brought this upon herself.

why it wasn't right for her to die
----------------------------------
her parents insisted she had responded to them when they touched her(most vegetables do respond to touch though anyways)
michael shaivo has another wife and 2 children(debatable whether that means he doesn't care about her)
(i'm not going to debate whether she's going to hell or not because she got into this state by a vegetative disorder)

why this is not news
--------------------
you think the media would cover this if terry was black, asian, hispanic, etc?
it's only news because it draws the liberal left into a huge clash with the religious right.
it involves the entire country, whereas, we should be concentrating more upon the world's problems

i'll post later
