Death Wins!

The Terri Schiavo case divided the country for months last Winter until Congress and the White House could no longer keep her in her divinely ordained vegetative state. But now, well yesterday, but I'm just reading about it now so for the sake of this piece, now, the autopsy results have been released to the public. The results show that if you sided with death on this death versus life issue, you are clearly the victor. Poor Terri had half of a brain, was blind, and "doctors said Schiavo's reactions were automatic responses and not evidence of thought or consciousness."

But the debate is not over my friends, many Americans, including the Schiavo family, continue to ignore medical professionals and the basic tenets of science and still claim that Schiavo was conscious during her fifteen years of torture in an assisted living facility. Schiavo's family now want to have their personal doctors examine the autopsy results, and perhaps take legal action against her husband for removing her feeding tube. Maybe Presidential hopeful, Dr. Bill "you can get AIDS from saliva" Frist will take up the job? Interestingly, the autopsy did not support the pro-death theory that Schiavo collapsed in 1990 due to an eating disorder, and it also did not support the pro-life theory that Schiavo's husband strangled her.

The last thing this issue needs is more debate, and d-bags like me giving their spin on the poor soul's fate. I just hope that Terri can now rest in peace.
