The person I dont want to be

It is Terri Schiavo. Poor woman has been kicked around so much. Neither her parents nor her husband want her to live or die in peace.

I really feel sorry for her. She has been in a vegetative state for 15 years now. Doctors say chances for her recovery are almost nil. I'm a supporter of euthanasia. I totally support her decision to die, if that is what she wanted.

At the sametime, I understand the fact that her parents have a problem with accepting that her daughter may not recover. It is tough on any parents. Now these conservative groups jump in for thier own political gains, adding another angle to it.

Whatever the decision might be it's not fair to either parents or husband. But the way she's being treated now(remove the tube today, feed her tomorrow) is not fair for Terri.

Let her live, let her die. But whatever it is, leave her alone. Dont torture the poor woman anymore.
