Okay, I’ve read through the post, and aside from a few, a majority of you sound like children.
When it comes right do to it, this whole situation, while tragic, doesn’t affect us in any way. Sure, it’s terrible that this has happened to Terri, it’s terrible that her husband wants her to die, what amounts to a slow painful death. All of us have to die at some point in time, maybe this is just the time that God has planned out for her to die. There’s a novel idea.
Roughly six teen hundred people die every minuet. That ranges from one abortion every twenty seconds of every day, to the nine to ten kids from six teen to nine teen that die every day in car accidents. This happens to be one with a face that we can see.
I see some very intelligent people who are wasting their time going back forth over this and calling each other names, when we could be talking about the ethnic cleansing that happens across the world all the time. We could be discussing the abortion issue. And I know some of you would liken this whole thing to an “adult sized abortion.” We could be discussing the persecution of your Christian brothers in the Sudan and Asia. We could be discussing how to better help the missionary Peter Hammond and his ministry, while I may not be a Christian is still find this a worthy cause.
I know that you must think I’m just a very evil man from wanting to focus on something with some relevance, but you know, when it comes down to it we only know a few things for sure:
We know what Terri’s friends thing she would want.
We know what Terri’s parents think she would want.
We know what Terri’s husband thinks she wants.
But we will never know for sure what Terri wants. And until we get a physic in there we never will really know for sure. There in lies the problem.
I know this post is going to garner quite a few interesting responses. Bring it on.
