Terri Schiavo

I must be missing something.

I watched videos of Terri Schiavo interacting and responding to her environment. Explain to me again why her husband wants to starve her to death, and a judge agrees to allow it? Fortunately, the judge has stayed his opinion, and Terri's death sentence, until Friday, February 25th, 2005, to give her family an opportunity to make another legal appeal.

The "Let's Murder Terri" crowd needs to get a grip on reality. If Michael Schiavo wants to move on with his life (he pretty much has, already. I understand that he's has a de facto second wife, and children with that wife), he should move on and let the people who love Terri care for her.

And what's up with the judge in this case? What in the world would convince him that starving a woman to death is the proper action, when she's not vegetative, not in a coma, not on life support (meaning her heart and lungs work fine, with no mechanical intervention), interacts with her family, who wants to keep her alive and care for her? Just because her husband, you know, asked?

As I said, I must be missing something.
