Terri Schiavo - My Living Will...
Wow, I haven't been this annoyed about the over-coverage of a news story since Chandra Levy and Elian Gonzalez.
You would think that now that she is finally at peace the coverage could end, but instead the media persists in forcing the bickering between her husband and parents upon us. Where Terri is buried is not newsworthy.
It doesn't matter which side of the case you took, if you even chose sides. I think everyone can agree on this. While both factions said they were doing what Terri would have wanted they neglected to look at the fact that whether she would have chosen to live or die, she probably wouldn't have wanted her predicament so publicized. She would have rather lived her life out or died in private. Did America really need to know that she had an eating disorder? Did America need to see pictures of her in that state? NO! And I bet she would've rather we not know any of that.
In addition, I think that its ridiculous that a woman who ended up in a hospice because she had bulimia should not be sentenced to death by anorexia. Thats exactly what they did by pulling the feeding tube. We treat our pets better.
Furthermore, this sort of thing is happening everyday, why choose to publicize her case? Can anything good come of this...YES!
I know I am going to make a living will. And I bet a lot of others are motivated to do the same...
If god forbid anything happens to me and will leave me in a condition in which I will be unable to WIPE MY OWN ASS...LET ME DIE! Oh and don't pull my feeding tube, give me a crapload of Morphine.

Oh don't worry. I would let you die before I wiped your ass for you.
