So her husband was right, there was no sign of any damage to her brain when her tube was removed.

That's interesting.

<b>Edit:</b> Oh, and she was blind. So she didn't smile at people, or follow a balloon with her eyes.

    Her brain weighed 615 grams, approximately 1/2 the weight of a normal human's. Also, she died from dehydration, not starvation.

    It was so blown out of proportion because certain groups in the political scene caught wiff of a guy who wanted to let his vegetable wife die in peace, but it was wrong because "she wasn't a vegetable." lol :-)

    Well at least now she's resting in peace if she hadn't been already before her death. She's up in heaven now, with a Keanu Reeves statue and a golden PSP...

    It's good to see this matter finally resolved though. Remember that apparent murder plot against the judge who ordered the feeding tube be removed? To quote a 90s comedian, 'Pro-lifers murdering people...it's irony on a base level but I love it'.

    Yeah, thats why the majority of us would have her husband choose the way he did. And if it's a joke, try not being so focused <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You win. Bahaha.

    Anyway, I doubt we'll hear anything about this from the crazy pro-life fundies, because you can't be a self-righteous ****** if you apologize for being wrong. It sucks that Michael Schiavo took such a vicious demonizing and still probably won't be vindicated of being a "murderer," as lots of people put it.

    That's the sad thing isn't it. The Religious Reich that were out to crucify him being proved wrong more than likely won't back down from their stance. And yes I did mean to use those words, irony is more fitting. I hate it how people can use religion to fully and zealously justify whatever they want, no matter the truth in the situation.

    Actually, yes it is. I'm not supporting the media's actions for blowing this out of prortion <b>this</b> much, but the issue itself <i>does</i> concern us. Not the one person's right to live, but in general - assisted suicide. When the person cannot decide for him or herself whether they want to continue living, who has the right to decide? That concerns each and every person here, because it might happen to anyone, when they could find themselves or their relatives and friends in a similar situation.
