Who Knows?

Dude I have no idea what is running through this guys head.

I am sick of this whole story. Science is being ignored. The vast majority of the medical establishment has stated that Terri Schiavo is no more. Having more than a passing knowledge of how the brain works I agree. She has no higher brain function and it doesn’t restart. Your brain is like RAM, turn off the power and you loose all the information.

We can keep bodies alive for a very long time, does that mean we should? You argue that who cares if she is kept alive, well I do. Eventually she will run out of money and Medicaid will take over payments for her care. What if this gives other families the idea to keep someone alive indefinitely hoping for a miracle? You’re talking tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to keep her alive. Just 1,000 families decide this and you’re talking millions and millions of dollars in wasted medical care.

Is there a price on human life? There sure is, it gets decided by lawyers and judges in civil court every day. I would ponder a guess at somewhere around 1-2 million bucks.

Shouldn’t people have to accept certain situations, or do we have to pander to everyone?

Should emotions replace reason?

Terri Schiavo the person is dead. Her body is still alive but it is not Terri Schiavo and never will be again.

Move on.
