SCHIAVO AND THE STUFFED ANIMAL

BRILLIANT post by COUNTERCOLUMN:
A mockery of logic

If Michael really thought Terri was a vegetable, then why bother with the cradling and the stuffed animal?The legal and moral reasoning involved in this case is the soundest since Dred Scott.

EXACTLY. Gotta read COUNTERCOLUMN everyday...

Good question.

And why did Felos say that Terri looked "withdrawn" a few days back? And why, when she was very close to death, did she appear to Felos to be "peaceful."

If she was withdrawn, I guess that would be in comparison to before the feeding tube was removed, when she wasn't withdrawn, right?

Or, if she looked peaceful, then that would mean prior to that she was expressing some other emotion or feeling.

Lies, lies everywhere, and not a drop to drink.

It seems a normal thing to do when a person is dying. A mother cradles her dying infant, even though most of the brain may not be functioning. It's not just a body. The soul, the human person is there.
