A Matter of Life and Death
I haven't written anything about Terri Schiavo yet because... well... because I didn't think there was anything else I could add. Now, when time may be very short, I've come to see that there is one thing I can add- another voice.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Terri's story, read her story at that link. There is section with very good explanations of several of the myths about Terri, and the facts surrounding her condition, prognosis, and legal battle. In a nutshell, Terri collapsed in her home in 1990, and she was brain damaged as a result. Her husband has been trying to have her feeding tube removed for several years, claiming she is in a persistive vegetative state (which she is not).
Time for Terri is running out. They can pull her feeding tube as early as Feb. 22nd, unless there is intervention. For more information on what you can do, read through all the information at Hyscience.
Pray for Terri and her family. Then do what you can to make a difference. (h/t to the other Beth)
