Euthanasia: The Murder of Terri Schiavo

[secureinCHRIST]

America is losing the sanctity of life. May God help us!

[AIDSBurglar]

These people who want to keep people artificially alive at any means possible even against that person's will are just fascist pigs who want to exert their control over not only what we can and cannot do to our bodies, but also the natural course of life and death itself. Spread your religious bullshit elsewhere, you fucking cowards.

And even if you are into Christianity and Scientology or w.e the hell you idiots believe in, your God put a stamp on her death, you rejected his cause.

[ProtagonistNonTheist]

This is total bull. The claims can't even be substantiated. Even if Terri was cognitive enough to reply "I want to live" there is no saying that that's what she was trying to say. For all we know she was trying to respond with "I want to die". We don't know that. Case dismissed.

[nsm83]

If Terry had wanted to die, then no one should have stood in her way. However, I don't see from the information that she specifically made any requests to have her life ended or gave any indication for that sort of preference.

So how did they decide that she wanted that? Don't get me wrong, I'm with euthanasia but only if the patient firmly requests it even after extended counselling.

[nsm83]

Quick question, every human being has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, right? Ok, so if if someone's PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS is by choosing to end his misery, and he should have the LIBERTY to do so, then where's the problem? Or is it just because YOU want to live that everyone else is forced to follow wht you want?

[21kaloma]

What about choice!!!! I have seen 3 of my closes family suffer from cancer and no drugs available for their relief. They wasted away dying miserable painful deaths. I would argue ending one's life should be legislated in the later stages where all other means have been exhausted. That way safe guards are in place but don't put everybody into one box.

It s easy when a healthy person sits on their morally religious perch, but how would THey feel honestly if it was on the other shoe. that woman is laughing about this topic.

[VictorShmoon]

Euthanasia is murder.Don't send people quickly 2 hell.The temporary pain will end but the eternal in the lake of fire will begin.Come back 2 christ and ask 4 help.Thou shalt not kill.(Exodus 20:13)

[lansdowne01]

Really shameful propaganda from misguided fools who have no idea what death with dignity means.

[Zoya9may]

PRO-CHOICE ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!

Why a patients can't have the right to die as she/he wants?This isn't democrasy...

[Zoya9may]

sarkiapone That is $%#$%#%^&#$%&.Everyone have the right he/she want to do with his /her body

[a2r1v1i2s]

without human interjection she would have died... therefore "god" must have wanted her to die. if god is your thing. it was the right thing to let her die... fuck you damn liberal faggots.

[drinacoy]

thank you for the video...its a good example for our bioethics discussion.

[bigfilmhat]

The very title is dishonest. They did repeated tests on her 1 of about 100 qualified as a possible response. They tested that one it wasn't repeatable. Her brain had shrunk to less than half the size of a normal human brain. She had none of the 5 senses left any more!

[sarkiapone]

No one has the right to end anybody life but the creator! It is murder if you do it and suicide if you do it to yourself....

[Zoya9may]

This is *%#^#$%^&*

Palliative care's new slogan should be "Because 75% is good enough."

[PogueMoran]

And the creator took her life and didn't change her condition so she could be saved. She was artificially being kept alive.

[21kaloma]

Have you ever experienced a family member dying???

[IcannotBelieveYou]

every single human being is born of free will and has the choice and brain power (unlike Terri's case) to do whatever they chose to do.

who are YOU to say "no one has the right..." you bible weilding freak!

[ROA890]

everybody has the right to life or die.

[21kaloma]

Totally Agree

[raisingtheblinds]

Cool cheese-athon, losers. Love the soft-rock soundtrack, by the way.

[technicolorscream]

"...and she said AARRHHHHHH!!!"

[technicolorscream]

testing

[basslicker420]

The clips of her 'reaction' sound like she's crying, not laughing with her father. Almost saying, 'PLEASE KILL ME!'

[BogoGog24]

i am going to do a video supporting your side. I don't think that there is any possible evidence supporting the starving torture that was her death. It is absolutely indispicable and should be condemned.

[kombatrock]

Hey, whats the deal with using my video footage and not giving credit??

[afr33]

I know that song! What is it :S oooh its Joe Satriani :)

[kidory86]

If god has the final say over death, that woman shouldn't have been on life supply at the first place, you got it??? It was not murder!!!!

[TCuffe74]

kidory86, you obviously have no idea how God works... try reading the bible once before you start making comments about what God would or would not do.

[IcannotBelieveYou]

woops. I voted to disagree with you when I meant to agree with you 100 percent

she was dead where she collapsed.

[rowansaloser]

every 1 also has the right to end it

[winstonjen]

Why didn't you show the opposing viewpoint? Even if you had an assignment against euthanasia, you should argue against the arguments in favour of euthanasia. That would improve your credibility.

[IcannotBelieveYou]

bingo! bang on

kudos
