They've Removed Terri's Feeding Tube

Take a look at this Peggy Noonan column. Basically, she says to pull out all the stops to keep Terri from being killed. Actually, the action to kill her has now been taken. Continuing to not provide her nourishment continues this cruel action. Any care provider that would intentionally do this action is a killer and they know it. This is something you quit your job over instead of carrying out the order. Terri is awake and consious. Yes, she's brain damaged but does that warrant the death penalty?

It's too bad no one took a stand at the hospital and refused. Man, that would have been cool! But, alas, money prevailed there.

I have been very saddened and angered over this. Legally and ethically; when there isn't a written living will; you take the side of life. The judges could of intervened; but chose not to because of political reasons. My heart goes out to terri's family. My prayers are with them. I am praying for a miracle. Please everyone, pray for them.
