Terry Schiavo Dies At Age 41

First and foremost my thoughts go to the family of Terry. May her soul rest in peace.

Second, I'm merging the threads and renaming the thread since is now official that Terry has passed away.

Third, I like South Park and I think it is a funny show. But is kinda eerie that after last night show the news of Terry's death is announced. Very bad timing. And sure this is going to turn nasty for the Matt and Trey.

They are doing their job. The press always takes on the most controversial cases out there. Is really not their fault. They have report anything that their subscribers want to know.

Care to elaborate on what happened in this episode of South Park?

I didn't get to TiVo it. 🙁

This whole fiasco was disgusting. The media and all the politicians involved are jokes. That woman technically died 15 years ago, hopefully everyone can now go on with their lives.

HOLY CRAP

you think she died 15 years ago? thats a very dangerous thought

me mum and i were just at the nursing home yesterday giving some flowers to the place- its just horrible to think that those people could just be killed on the spot, starved or shot or something else horrible.
We are living in a culture of death people

death has been so rosied up nowadays its disgusting

It's not like people are now going around wanting to euthanise anyone lying in a hospital bed. Take a deep breath and get some perspective.

well its not too far off

the first major case is always the hardest and most controvercial; same in the case of abortion; but after that it gets easier and easier

It's insane how much publicity and attention this ordeal has attracted, yet such things happen all the time in seclusion.

in 1 month no one will even remember her name except her family.

This is not the first case, this happens every day, many times a day. The press and congress just decided to jump all over this particular case. This had hardly anything to do with Schiavo and more to do with headlines and political positioning.

And as for your comment about it getting easier and easier, try telling that to the families of the people who they decide to pull the plug on, I'm sure it is not easy for them. At some point you have to look at the quality of life of the person and of the people that have to live with the situation.

Often people are kept alive when they have no chance of recovery because of the inability of the family to accept what's happened. It's sad that they prolong the inevitable and very selfish. The press, the government, her family and her family's lawyers did all that they could to let Terry Schiavo die with as little dignity as possible.

Why was so much attention and ordeal brought to one issue with a normal human beings life? I mean a lot of people have been in the same situation or worse and they didnt get loads of attention

so, terri finnaly died eh? 🙁

o well 😛

I feel bad for her family and everything but I think it's a good thing she died. Now the family can move on and stop holding onto the pointless hope of some sort of medical miracle. Besides, now the President and Congress can get back to more important matters, like stopping gays from being happy.

If you were in a vegeatative state would you want to live?

I sure as heck would not want to live any longer.

They are doing their job. The press always takes on the most controversial cases out there. Is really not their fault. They have report anything that their subscribers want to know.

I smell republicans being insulted all over the place. Too bad this issue goes way beyond party lines. AND, too bad that people on both sides of the issue can't comprehend that point. Like Rush said, this is a case of liberal, who lost the elections...sticking it to republicans who won them.

I, personally would put down every retarded person. But, I'm extreme in this point of view...and the best part is thatwe don't live in Nazi Germany. I think this chick shold have been unplugged a long tima ago. The fact that she lived so long without food and water would represent that she wasn't being "kept alive". BUT! she was beyond hep. In my position, I would want to die.

I think its a sad case, but then I think a person should be allowed to go if there is no chance of recovery, or if they wish to die under specific circumstances. Perhaps this will open serious debate on Euthanasia, as one of the major rants about this was "how cruel it is to let her starve to death". If the option of Euthanasia was available it would be painless and quick, peacefully done in moments.

🙁 Terry Schiavo may she rest in peace.May god have mercy on our souls!jmrip
