I personally believe Terri will be in a much better place after death. Her death in and of itself doesn't bother me. It's the manner of death and the far-reaching implications it carries. As sad as I am for Terri and her family, I am even more sad that our government now condones "getting rid of" those individuals who are no longer considered useful or desirable. If that doesn't scare people, then I don't know what will. At first I just assumed they would find a way to put the feeding tube back in and I didn't think much about it. Now I clearly see no one will do anything to stop this. I know, the law, blah blah blah. A woman is slowly being starved to death for no other reason than her husband and one, lowly probate judge have decided she is no longer allowed to live.

How do you figure? The government should never have gotten involved in this matter to begin with. My question to every reader on this forum and I respect a great many on here for teaching me many things about politics and more, but which one of you would trade places with her and lie in bed for 15 years incased in a body which wil wither away and never be able to enjoy life like God intended. This bothers me to no end to see Christians carrying on like her death is going to be the end of her, that she will no longer exist. Where is your faith in the promise of an everlasting eternal life without pain, sorry, sickness or death? I just don't get it anymore. What I see is lack of faith spread all over the national news. I'm done now and will not go on about this anymore.

That is precisely the issue here. On the news this evening, they showed a man who has been on a feeding tube for thirty years! The difference is that his mental faculties are what society would recognize as being intact vs Terri whom the MSM has defined as being in a vegetative state. Vegetables don't feel pain. Why are they administering drugs to 'ease her pain'?

May God have mercy on the soul of this nation!
