[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [qb] [i]No one wants to talk about the cause of her condition: only the final outcome.[/i] Oh, I know I never hear anything about the horrors of eating disorders. Ever. Except several times a semester, but aside from that, never. That's an odd slippery-slope argument, Jason. Schivo didn't leave any indication that she didn't want to be kept alive and treated, so people raised hell when someone else made those decisions for her. [/qb][/QUOTE]I hear ya...but just think how much positive stuff might have come from the press focusing on victims that can still be helped... The Right has tried to ignore Shivo's self-destructive behavior as they make her out to be a victim of her [i]husband[/i] (a guy that still loved her enough to look out for what she wanted for over a [i]decade[/i]). Living in the epicenter of this fiasco (why [i]always[/i] south Florida!?!), I've heard a rightwing radio talk host refer to Micheal Shiavo's [i]childern[/i] as "bastards" and he was interviewed by a local TV station where they let him say it on the 10 O'Clock news! Then the local churches got involved and started calling Miachael Shiavo a "sinner" and "murderer". That's when Shiavo had to hire bodyguards and pull his kids from school/after school activities: he started getting death threats after the church-goes got rilled up. Then Jesse Jackson got involved and made it all even far worse...to the point where he's politcally pressured some buerocrat at Family Services to send agents down to the hospice and insert a new feedng tube (dispite the court order to remove it). Local cops sent those bozos packing: one said "unless you've got a federal judge [i]with[/i] you, you're not getting in here". Man, if there's any law that should be enacted from all of this, it that any case involving "right to live/die" that goes before a judge should have a gag order slapped on it from the outset, to protect everyone that's [i]actually[/i] involved.
