Terri Schiavo Dies
Terri Schindler Schiavo died this morning shortly before 10 a.m. EST succumbing after 13 days, 21 hours to her "husband's" final attempt to have her killed.
In her last two weeks, she certainly didn't act like someone who was relieved to be granted the "right to die" because she clung to every precious minute of life, lasting far longer that most experts expected. The fact that she lasted so long proves that she was in good health. She wasn't dying so it took 14 days to kill her.
Thus ends years of protracted legal battles in which multiple courts and judges took leave of their senses, considering one man's questionable motives and assertions that his "wife" wanted to be starved to death and ignoring considerable evidence questioning his motives and Terri's wish to be killed in this torturous and painful manner. An execution at the hands of "husband" Michael Schiavo and the judiciary in which it took 14 long, painful days to kill a person whose only crime was to be brain damaged, lying in a hospital bed and, according to some, of no value to society.
Now begins the slide down the slippery slope where we determine who lives and who dies by virtue of someone's perceived opinion of their "worth" to society. There are thousands of disabled persons lying in beds in nursing homes around the country. Which one will be next? God help us all.

If there is any bright side to this entire matter, it's that Terri is now in a far better place for I believe God will take care of her soul for enternity. And, those envolved against here behalf, well, there a day coming for them, called JUDGEMENT DAY!
