For the last few days, one major issue became public knowledge when the Florida court decided not to overturn the decision to remove the feeding tube of Teri Schiavo. Everyone has their opinion on this, including the pope who (I don’t know how) apparently said we should let her live.
This whole story makes me really sad. Sad for her, sad for her husband and sad for her family. What should be a family crisis is now the “Nation’s crisis”; you have pro life, you have pro choice, priests, politicians (what was the congress's role anyway?), even Entertainment Tonight talking to celebrities about their opinion on the subject.
Imagine this on CNN: Schiavo: 8th day without feeding tube. I’m not joking, this is the real headline on the channel, horrible. I hope for everyone’s sake that this gets resolved soon and without too much pain for whom we should think about and who matters most in this situation, Terri herself. Terri’s pain might not be in vain; everyone needs to realize THEY need to advise their family, or better, write a will that will state how they want to die. Last year my goal was to stop smoking and I did, this year it is to make a will. In the meantime, CCN will camp outside her hospital until another “cool” story comes along.
