NEW YORK, December 10, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation and Priests for Life have jointly announced the establishment of the "International Day of Prayer and Remembrance for Terri Schindler Schiavo, and All of Our Vulnerable Brothers and Sisters" ("Terri's Day"), to be observed each year on March 31, the date of Terri's death.

The purpose of the day, the groups explained, is to foster education, prayer, and activism regarding discrimination against the disabled, and advocacy for people in situations similar to what Terri and her family faced.

Fr. Frank Pavone said, "Those of us who were with Terri will never forget her life and her death. For the sake of all the vulnerable, it is critically important that those who never knew Terri likewise remember the lessons that God taught us through her."

Suzanne Vitadamo, Terri's sister, adds, "No family should ever have to witness what my family witnessed, watching a loved one slowly dehydrate to death. We want Terri's day to remind us all that persons with disabilities are never burdens and should be treated with nothing but our unconditional love and compassion."

In the early weeks of 2008, educational and prayer materials will be released that can be used by parishes, disability and pro-life groups and all communities to observe Terri's Day.

In current affairs, do you see a resemblance in these two characters? I think Michael will look very similar in a few more years.

Drew Peterson

Michael Schiavo

[wagglebee]

Michael almost has me believing in reincarnation.

[proudofthesouth]

They will ALL have to answer for their crimes to a higher power.

[bjs1779]

Unlike Drew Peterson and Mr. Stalin, Michael always displayed a fear of getting caught though. IMO

I'm not so sure about that, it takes a lot of nerve to kill your wife with the entire world watching on live TV.

Wills to Live are safer.

That being said, you may have an ironclad living will that does protect you.

There are concerns about respirators and ventilators with living wills because patients may only need one temporarily. Make sure language re: breathing equipment is exactly what you mean. Please don't spell it out here. Your documents are private. Just thought I'd opine briefly on breathing equipment.

shouldn’t it be a day for preventing? It seems this is always being sold as a day of looking back.

Remember yes, absolutly.

however, lets prevent the next travesty.

Not when you got a corrupt Judge, a few crooked lawyers, a few lying doctors and the news media cheering you on. He didn't win the "guardian of year" for nothing you know.
