Terri Schiavo's Condition
How is it that we, as humans, can easily condem a human's life without second thought? In Terri's Schiavo's case it is understood that she could ver possibly feel pain " They are unresponsive to external stimuli, except, possibly, painful stimuli." ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)). So In The case of Terri Schiavo is it truly ethical and right to allow her to possibly feel the dying hunger? Put it this way, if you were unable to talk and respond or maybe even comprhend anything but pain, would you want to allow those close to you to condem you to dying by starvation? And you, would be able to feel it and do nothing about it. I just do not understand the ethical and emotional reasoning behind this topic. I realize she does not have the ability to fend for herself, but does that make it right for her uncomitted husband to make that decision. I just don't understand the ethical understanding of this situation.
