Joe-
Your comments that people are "eager to see Terri Schiavo die" are absolutely shameful. Recently, my 56 year old mother fell ill with brain cancer. After a ten month fight with cancer, blood infections, and two massive strokes, my family determined it was time to end her agony. With my sister and I at his side, my father instructed the doctors to stop the nutrition. He said "selfishly I want to keep her alive forever, but I have to think of what's best for her, not what's best for me."
Now, are you suggesting that I was eager to see my mom die? Are you suggesting my father and sister were eager to see my mom die? If so, sir, than I am honestly sad for you. How could a person be filled with such rage and hatred that he would suggest that others are eager to see their loved ones die?
For you to say you don't understand how anyone could disagree with you on this issue shows a stunning lack of ability to appreciate the gravity and complexity of these decisions.
Sincerely,
The guy who was not eager to see his mother die
