[Vision2020] Terri Schiavo

[Dan Carscallen]

Maybe it's the cynic in me, but I have heard there is a money issue
involved (life insurance?).

Either way, I agree with you, Carl, that it doesn't matter what you SAY,
you'd better get your wishes written down.

In following the Terri Schiavo story, I find it disheartening that good 
people on both sides of the issue show such acrimony toward the "other 
side".  As well as I can discern, those who feel she should be kept
alive do 
so out of compassion.  And, those who feel she should be allowed to die
feel 
that way out of an equal compassion.  I happen to be among the latter, 
though I have friends and family members who are among the former.  All
good 
people, with the possible exception of myself.  If any public good can
come 
out this tragic case, perhaps more people will be persuaded to write
living 
wills, so it cannot happen to them.  I intend to.  I cannot imagine
enduring 
15 years of "life" the way Mrs. Schiavo has.
