More interesting media thoughts
by Unknown [+/-] show/hideIt is telling to see who the media thinks has a conflict of intrest and who they think is an objective observer.
If you are a Christian and part of a bioethics committee made up of Christians who do not support doctor-assisted suicide and euthanasia, then I am sorry your opinion on the Terri Schiavo case is tainted and unwanted.
However, if you have spoken to the Hemlock Society, a doctors group favoring doctor-assisted suicide and euthanasia, are member of the board of directors of the Choice in Dying Society, a similar group with similar goals and call those who disagree with you "bogus" and a "fanatic," then you are just who the New York Times is looking for.
Isn't that interesting?

Louis, I am glad you are back! I have missed you and your thought provoking comments!
As to our previous conversation, the post in question has been edited in case you haven't seen it.
As to your comments, I am not sure how this doctor can blast Cheshire for not examining Terri, when she herself (I am assuming) has not either.
There are doctors who says she is in a PVS and some say she isn't. Why err on killing the lady by starvation?
About the Jesuit theologian's comment, I would agree with him to an extent. Death has lost it's sting because of Christ's victory over it. We do not have to fear death, but that does not give us the right to decide for ourselves or someone else when that time should come, especially in instances when there is doubt. When someone is on a ventilator and dozens of other machines and wires that keep them breathing and beating, then we can have this discussion. But I just can't see having it about starving a woman to death. Just because Death is no longer victorious over Christians does not mean we should all go out and kill ourselves.
But again Louis, I am very glad you are back!
