Terri Schiavo Story Far From Over
Yesterday, the decision was made to withhold food and liquids from Terri Schiavo and start the slow, painful process of starving her to death. On hearing the news that she was to be killed, Terri cried out. Barbara Weller told Terri, "Just say you want to live." To this, Terri yelled, "IIIIIII WAAAAAAAA" loud enough that it caused a police guard to remove everyone else from the room. Terri's family, except for her "loving husband," took this to mean she wants to live. Good news may be in the pipeline, though. The US Senate has reached a compromise that could restore Terri's feeding. Of Congress' intervention, Michael Schiavo said, "They should be ashamed of themselves."
Maybe Congress SHOULD be ashamed for taking questionable actions in constitutional terms, but Michael Schiavo should be more ashamed of killing his wife, in my opinion.
As always, follow the story at Blogs for Terri, and Terri's Fight.
[Update] President Bush will be returning to Washington, DC in order to be around for a quick signing of the bill.
