My Sentiments Exactly

Yes, there are people playing politics with Terri Schiavo's life and death. Yes, there are people making irresponsible allegations about the motives of Michael Schaivo.

But, to my mind, Jesse Jackson spoke the simple truth today when, after visiting with Terri Schaivo's parents at their invitation, he said:
"Without food or water for 12 days, there are vital signs (that) she is
being starved to death. She is being dehydrated to death. That's inhumane. It's
immoral and it's unnecessary," Jackson said.

I say what I said in a post on March 21, there is a marked difference between letting someone die and making them die. This is so sad.
