Large Voices For Terri
I am very pleased at the very public. very loud voices for Terri that have been heard from today. I just listened to Alan Keyes on Michael Medved.
From Blogs for Terri and WICatholic Musings, we hear of a new statement from the Vatican.
The Medved/Keyes interview was troubling in that a doctor called and spoke about how this "happens every day." Of course, it was pointed out that there are two problems"

- In cases where it does happen there is indisputable proof that the individual whose life is ending has said unequivically that they want to die, and
- How can starving an individual to death possibly consitute a humane death?
The doctor pointed out that the removal of a feeding tube happens all the time. I know it does and I am very troubled by it. I worry terribly that the best answer to that is to challenge those that want to remove Terri's tube to instead do the standup thing and actually kill her. I am really afraid someone might do it. I would classify that as a backfire on the arguement. This situation is quite frustrating.
