My husband just IM’d me that Terri Shiavo died this morning. I didn’t expect to feel sad because I don’t know her and because I knew it was coming, and because her quality of life ended years ago, but I do feel a touch of melancholy… *sigh* This issue is too complicated for me to take a side. I have read that Terri didn’t suffer from starvation because of her particular type of vegetative state, but I still feel bad for her.
Yeah, it is so sad. Even if she couldn’t feel anything, it is a sad way to go. I’m bothered by the fact that the family fought for so long over this.
