04/25/2008 | It was a tough case, but, unfortunately, the civil law won against the moral law. Her husband wanted her dad so he could get whatever money he did from it. Her parents wanted to keep her alive even at their own costs, but their request was denied. My opinion: we lost our human and moral rights on the altar of civil and legal rights.

05/02/2006 | Not "deserving of Death",but deserving of RELEASE.I sure would not want to waste away in this manner,or watch my loved ones do so.For the so-called "religious" people who rant and rave about the "sanctity" of life-I say if "God" wanted them alive,you wouldn't need the machine to keep them that way.(This only applies,of course,to hopeless cases like Schiavo & Quinlan)

05/01/2006 | Iknow this would be my wish. I do not want to continue living if I am considered brain dead. If someone made this request for themselves. a close relative i would honor their wishes. I could never live this way myself I should have that right to say I do not want to live like this.

11/10/2005 | Im sure I will upset people with this, but we euthanise our animals because we don't want them to suffer, do humans not deserve the same? If my quality of life is gone, then why should my friends and family have to suffer with seeing me live that way.

10/06/2005 | I had issues with the news distraction that was the Terry Schiavo Case, because there was no clear living will, but I very much support a patients right in this matter and the courts earned their keep I guess. Also, the autopsy report did prove alot of us wrong and I am one who tends not to ignore science .... Again, this is one of those items I can't rate higher than a 3, because I don't believe that people in this state are 'deserving' of death as spelled out in the list creators rating scale ...

10/06/2005 | I wouldn't say deserving of death, Terry Schiavo did nothing wrong. But at the same time, what's the point of keeping someone alive artificially when you know that they aren't going to get any better. It would be nice if everyone could write down their wishes and share them with their loved ones, that would make this situation infinitly (sp?) easier, but unfortunately it doesn't happen that way. I think in situations like these it's time for doctors stop asking if the CAN keep someone alive, and start asking if they SHOULD.

10/06/2005 | Lying in a bed taking oxygen doing nothing isn't much of a life to end, kids. . .if you can't handle the responsibility of the decision then certainly don't judge someone who does.

10/06/2005 | Their life was already taken. Terry Schiavo died 10 years ago. All they did was let her body follow her soul.

10/06/2005 | I would not consider a situation like Terry Schiavo's to be killing a person, because I believe that in her state she had already passed. So although I might pull the plug to let her body go, I am not certain that it would be killing.

10/05/2005 | Tough call (obviously, as the nation saw with the Schaivo case). I don't really like the term "taking" someone's life in this kind of situation; it kind of insinuates that there's some action taken to speed up the process. "Letting them go"? A little easier to swallow, but not by much; dying by neglect isn't that much better. This seems like one of those scenarios that shouldn't have been left as it was for so long. I'm not sure about what the right answer is, but I think, in this case, there isn't much of a "right" answer to choose from.
