Cowards
Update: First day off - Here’s an op-ed in Opinion Journal about the case. Money quote: “He has fought the battle to kill her with a determination that at this point seems not single-minded or passionate but strange.” Got that right…
Over the next several days Terri Schiavo will be undergoing an execution that had it been levied upon a condemned man would be considered cruel and inhuman punishment.
Anyone who believes Terri should die should at least have the courage to place a pistol to her head and pull the trigger. Removing the feeding tube is murder - but its a coward’s method of killing.
Those who wish to execute Terri should at least be present to witness it. Think starvation is “painless” - fine: put your beliefs to the test.
I believe they should broadcast her death to the public. Let us see whether they are right and her death is painless.
But they won’t do that.
Cowards.
I hope that at the very least Terri’s death sets a precedent for capital punishment cases. The first person to be subjected to this new method of execution should be John Evander Couey.
And so help me, I’d better not hear a peep from those who support killing the feeble-minded but not child-killers.

I agree dude… my whole feeling on this thing: The husband gets a revolver with 3 bullets, but set so 3 dry fires go first.
Let him in the room for 5 minutes, whatever happens in the room stays in the room.
When he steps out of the room, whatever is left in the room belongs to the parents.
