Holy crap! I can't believe it. I understand all cases are different, but you really would think someone who has gone through making that awful decision themselves would have an iota of understanding for another family. And at the VERY least, give them the room to do it in. *bangs head against the wall*
The mind boggles, doesn't it? Do these people have no empathy left? This quote from the mother is priceless:
Like her son, she believed there might be hope for Terri Schiavo's recovery. That's what made her family's experience different, she said. Charles had no hope.
"There was no chance he was ever coming back," she said.
To which I respond, fifteen years, you idiot. Terri Schiavo has been in a vegetative state for as long as your husband has been dead. Now, imagine if someone had forced you to keep him alive that long. How would you feel about it then?
