I don't know [livejournal.com profile] yendi, but I like what he has to say about the Terri Schiavo case.  (found via [livejournal.com profile] rowantree.)

The case does make me think, though.  Sometimes when I'm sick and lying on the couch I'm not really asleep.  I can hear Eor moving around in the next room but I can't quite wake up, either.  I really hate that.  It's even worse when it happens in the middle of the night when I'm not sick, but I'm half dreaming, and my eyes are open and I can't move.  *shudder*  If that's what my life was like for fifteen years I would be completely insane.  I would want so badly to die.  And that is the best case scenario for this poor woman.  I feel awful for her.  I can't imagine any compassionate god who would want that for anyone.
