The fate of Ms. Schiavo

I've already said what I have to say on the subject in the earlier Schiavo thread, but I wanted to respond to this question from Spencer:

I heard they have actually giving her morphine? If she cannot feel pain, why would she need this?

For the family. It isn't unusual in cases like this. The morphine isn't going to help, but it isn't going to hurt either. If someone close to the patient is afraid that he or she is in pain, and a dose of painkiller will help to alleviate that fear, then why not?

Still think that her parents are on the moral upside, K? Especially now that they just made a pretty penny selling the list of people who have donated to their cause to other fringe right-wing concerns?

I heard Dan Abrams on MSNBC say that if you donate a certain amount to the Shindlers' legal fund, they'll send you a free copy of the complete videotape of Terri, the same tape we've all seen pieces of on the news.By all accounts, this young lady was quite conscious of her image. It should be disgusting to anyone that videotapes of Terri in her present state are being hawked to help fund this effort to keep her alive against her wishes.I guess that's another example of right-wing morality for you. It sure as hell ain't my morality!

Spencer, there are a few conventions we adhere to at evc that you apparently are not aware of. If you will notice, each post within a thread will have a number of buttons along the bottom, one of which is labelled "reply". If you will use that button it will automatically provide a link from your post back to the message you're responding to.You've apparently been using the "Gen Reply" button which is found at the bottom of each page of a thread. At many message boards that is exactly what is expected, but here we consider it bad form - unless of course you are making a general reply rather than a reply directed at one particular post.
