It Was the Right Thing to do After All

Reporting autopsy results today, Florida Medical Examiner Jon Thogmartin said that Terri Schiavo "could not have benefited from therapy or treatment; her brain had atrophied and weighed less than half of a normal brain for a woman her age".

That said, it should be obvious to intelligent beings that she was unaware of anything or anyone around her. Keeping her alive would not have changed a thing. She would never have "awakened". She would only continue to lay in a near-vegetative state for the rest of her life. Neither the religious fanatics nor the current administration would have been helping Terri by keeping her body alive. Wouldn't those people have wanted her soul to go to heaven instead of being trapped in a prison of total dark, devoid of any thought, sensation, or memory? By allowing her to die peacefully, she was "released" from something so terrible we can only imagine it.
