[QUOTE]Originally posted by Alshrim Dax: [QB] actually - we have to remember too - that her parents wanted to keep her alive - and that this whole mess was because they felt a need to selfishly cling to the hope that she may, by some fricken miracle snap out of it... You can harp on the politicians all you want - but this whole mess started with her parents disagreeing with her husband! Now being devil's advocate... the parents felt that Shiavo had no right to rule in decision concerning their daughter because he'd 'moved on' .. had children with another woman - and to them, he effectively forfeit his rights to be her legal guardian... THAT is where the debate should be... It's only sad that the politicians had to come into this at all in order to try to stop the squabbling... Where the politicians went wrong was they used this woman to further some hidden agendas (or not so hidden, i suppose). In the end, the politicians succeeded in doing nothing to help her ... the courts were right to shoot down President Bush's retarded bill !! (whoring for votes much?). People could say her husband starved her to death all they want - but the reality that everyone hates to think about - is the fact that; that's what she was doing before she had the heart-attack which deprived her brain of oxygen for so long that she became a vegetable... It's too bad that her family had to pick up the pieces.. no doubt everyone who was/is involved in this case has had a terrible 15 years. anyhow.. i've tried to see it from both sides .. in the end - the parents should have loved their daughter enough to let her go a long time ago - and avoided this whole circus show! and so the final line of this 'Living will" in the orginal post: [QUOTE]If any of my family goes against my wishes and turns my case into a political cause, I hereby promise to come back from the grave and make his or her existence a living hell. [/QUOTE]-- i believe is the best message in the whole thing. but of course, she didn't have a living will .. so the only outcome was a polically charged nightmare. [/QB][/QUOTE]
