To: Alissa; Ohioan from Florida
"Florida judge extended a ruling that prevents Terri Schiavo's husband from removing the feeding tube that is keeping his severely brain damaged wife alive."

Everyone needs to be fed to be kept alive.

"The ruling by Judge George Greer in Clearwater, Florida, allows Terri Schiavo's parents to continue for 48 hours to seek legal remedies to overturn an appellate court order in the case that allowed Michael Schiavo to seek the removal of the tubes."

Isn't it just one tube, inserted just for purposes of providing water and food?

"Michael Schiavo and his wife's parents have been battling since 1994 over whether Terri Schiavo, 41, should be kept alive. Her parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, say their daughter is able to communicate and may improve with therapy."

You see the deception here? In plain English, it should read "Michael Shiavo and his wife's parents have been battling since 1994 over whether Terri Schiavo, 41, [should live]" not "should be kept alive" because obviously food and water is necessary, but that's for everyone. Shouldn't we be asking, why are we even considering denying Terri the most basic human needs? You see how the media helps this pro-death cause, as if Terri's life is immaterial. They're acting careless and reckless. The more people get to see what is happening with Terri, the more they'll know that this is wrong, wrong for Terri, and wrong for society.

Excellent observations....TV, movies and media are subtly brainwashing us all the time. We work mighty hard in this house to point all bias, lies and agenda out to our kids so they become discerning adults.

Exactly. The difference is she is not able to feed herself. Last time I checked, neither can infants, but we would be murderers if we let an infant starve.
