Terry Schiavo Feeding Tube Death
386 wordsThe time had come for the inevitable end of this story, this miserable lot of the last fifteen years for Terry Schiavo. Brain-damaged and rubber-boned, barely human anymore, Schiavo had the indignity of having her nerve-reflex smile paraded out every time the moment came close for her to have to sink or swim, to learn quickly to feed herself or starve. She was the unfortunate child of narcissistic parents who have pathetically deluded themselves into believing that, at some point, the rock that ...

Beset by forces that threaten their survival and their dignity, many manage to survive with dignity. Others succumb, however, to criminal behavior that endangers not only society at large but their own families and communities.
